River Day 10/19/2015

Only Jay and I were on hand to celebrate the holiday this week, and we had beautiful weather to do it.  Skies were clear, autumn blue, and temps were in the upper 60's.  There was no fishing, no projects this week, just hanging around by the fire. 

Most of our talk this week was all about the upcoming annual fall camping trip (next week!).  Everyone's plans seem to be coming together, and I'm sure it will be a great time, as always.

We saw and talked to Leo for a bit - don't usually spend too much time chatting with him.  Freddy dropped by for his weekly visit.  Jesse's car was parked in the driveway at the camp for the entire evening with one door standing open and the windows partially down.  Funny, we never did see Jesse.  According to Freddy, Jesse is staying in Toby's house for a time, even though there isn't any electricity at that place. 

We did see a Park Service vehicle coming down the road, but it turned around before getting to the camp.  Someone in our little party seemed a bit nervous to see them, and it wasn't Jay or me. Hmmm.

We kept a small fire going the whole time, and thanks to someone (?) we had some pre-cut wood sitting around for burning.  Looked like some of the stuff that washes up during floods.  We took advantage.  The results were, of course, the best fire on the river.

Sorry everyone couldn't make it down this week, but unfortunately, life gets in the way.

As a note of good news, I left a jacket and a set of throwing knives at the camp the last time we were there - two weeks ago.  I felt certain the knives would be gone (and had forgotten about the jacket).  Both were exactly where I left them.  No one around, or respect for other's property?  Or maybe honor among fellow Rivertarians.

Happy River Day!
