River Day 05/09/2016

 

The river had returned to its normal spring level this week -mostly- and the aftermath of the high water from last week wasn't too bad.  There'll be a little cleanup required, but not like before.  The helgies finally seem to be out too, so some of us did a little fishing - and caught a few fish!  Nothing spectacular, but at least they're starting to bite.  And as you can see in the pic, the rafters are starting to come out too.

Despite the weather forecast, we didn't have any rain this week, and the temps were in the 70's.  Not sure what the water temperature was.  Those that made it down this time around were - Tim, Jay, Ted, Pat, Kevin and me.  And Freddy.  Kevin's little 4-legged sidekick was along also.  For some reason, that dog really likes Pat.  You can feel the chemistry.

Surprisingly, there wasn't much political talk this week, even though is was the eve of the West Virginia primaries.  Except for Freddy, and he's voting for some guy named Stump Grinding. 

The yard at the camp had been mowed sometime since our last visit.  About half of it anyway.  Guess it's too much trouble to get off and push or weed-eat around some of the rockier areas.  Oh well, the snakes need a place to hide too.

Not a huge fire this week, but we did have one. 

As always, Happy River Day!

Must be telling a fish story.

Reminds me of a Meatloaf song...
