We had a couple of projects going on at the camp this week. The first priority was getting the yard at the camp in order. There was still some high water debris in various places, and the grass had not been cut at all yet. I brought down my mower and weed-eater for the job. Ted raked and picked up the debris, Jay ran the weed-eater, and I mowed. Once we got started, it didn't take long to get it done, and it certainly looks better.Freddy came down and brought me an old propane cylinder for another project. Jay, Ted and I got the old valve out without too much trouble. I think Freddy got a little nervous about this part, but we didn't have a fire going yet, so no danger, except for Ted's cigar. Anyway, the 1st step of that project is done. I'll be doing most of it at home, so I'll report the progress here later on.
Some of us did a little fishing and I finally got my first of the year - a red-eye, or rock bass. Ben also caught one, but I don't remember if Jay got any or not. I know that he did get the 1st (and only) helgie of the season, so that's a good sign.We did have a small fire going, mostly to burn up the stuff that Ted raked up, but we made sure it was completely out before leaving. Things are still pretty dry out.
Looking forward to a nice summer on the river!
