The river was made up of ice floes and hot cocoa this week. Okay, maybe not entirely, but the river was muddy, and because of the rising water, ice from last week's freeze came floating by like small icebergs, with the occasional tree thrown in. Tim took some video of a large "patch" of ice floating by that I think he's going to try to post. Pretty awesome to watch.Jay, Tim, Ted and I all made it down to enjoy our Monday bag-out. It wasn't nearly as cold as last week, but wasn't too warm either - temp was in the low 30's, with overcast skies, and a good bit of fog on the mountain tops. I was running later that everyone else, so by the time I got there, the fire was already toasty (there are some benefits to being late).
Jay brought a nice stack of pallets down to ramp up the fire a bit, and I think we burned about half of them. Needless to say, we weren't hurting for heat. Since there wasn't much wind, staying out of the smoke wasn't too bad this go round.
You don't see much local activity this time of year, but we can always count on Freddy to stop by for a short visit. I'm sure he enjoys the break from his battles with the area vermin. Not sure who's winning that one.
Nice to see the daylight hours lengthening.
