River Day 05/02/2016

 
Another well attended River Day this week  - Scott, Pat, Kevin, Tim (yes, Tim), Jay, Ted, and me.  And Freddy. And Pat's friend, the chi-weenie, whatever his name is.  The temperature was okay this week, but we had some precipitation for a while.  Heavy rain and small hail forced us all into the building for a while.  Kinda looked like a bunch of Mexicans in a Volkswagen (sorry for the ethnic reference).  The noise of the rain and hail hitting the building must be what it's like to be in a popcorn popper.  Oh well, a little weather never had too much of an impact on River Day.

We didn't have any on-going projects this week - retrieved a little firewood off the riverbank, and out of the river (never did get a picture of the anchor!).




  The water level was a good way up in the yard at camp, so I'm sure we'll be collecting debris again over the next couple of weeks.  There's always some nice sized pieces for burning in the mix, so nobody minds too much.

I tried a little fishing at one point, but the water was just too high to do any good.  We looked for some helgies but didn't find any.  Disappointing for this time of year.

We kept a pretty nice fire going this week, as expected.  Felt pretty nice since there wasn't any sunshine.

Good to see everyone at the river, and as always, I'm looking forward to the next one.
