Warmer weather seems to bring out the Rivertarians, and this week's River Day was proof of that. With temps in the low 50's, we had a full crew: Pat, Kevin, Ted, Jay, Tim and I (Mark). Oh, and let's not forget Freddy. There was a little trade off for the milder temps - light rain on and off, especially early on. Other than that, you couldn't beat the climate for early February. After the rain let up, we got to enjoy a pretty cool view of fog/mist moving down the river (or was it up the river?).
Jay brought his chainsaw down, so we made a project of cutting up, carrying, and semi-stacking the rest of the tree that was cut a couple of weeks ago. Assuming the river doesn't decide to reach up and take the pile, we've got a nice stack to last into the warmer months. I know, wishful thinking. If it happens, it happens. Won't be the first time, and the river always provides us with a replacement.

How many Rivertarians does it take...?

One of the highlights of the evening was the burning of Pat's Christmas tree. Not sure what he did different from the ones we brought down a few weeks ago, but this one went up quite nicely. Maybe the rest of us just didn't let ours cure long enough. Sorry, there is no audio in the video clip.
After all these years, I still can't think of a better way to start a week!
