River Day was held at the river again this week, and this time we had the Rivertarian Party well represented: Pat, Jay, Tim, Ted and myself. The weather was perfect for the holiday, even though it was about 10 degrees cooler than last week. I think the temp was somewhere around 62 - no shorts and t-shirts, but instead jeans and long sleeves were the order of the day. Gettin' to be that time of year! (Personally, I'm looking forward to cold and snow).Freddy came down to visit with us for a while, to get us caught up on the goings-on at the river. You know, stuff like rodents, family, neighbors, and even a bit of politics (it is an election year, after all). He even brought us a nice load of old boards to burn, strapped to the back of his 4-wheeler. With the cooler air, it was much appreciated. We did collect a bit while we were there, but a ready made pile is always nice.
While Jay, Ted and I were scrounging up some firewood, we noticed the remains of someone's paddle boat washed up below the camp. I can honestly say that after all the years we've spent at the river, this was a first. We've had toys, bench grinders, containers of every shape and size, pieces of yard furniture, clothing, feminine hygiene products, you name it. Now we can officially add watercraft. But I think you can see from the picture, it's far from being seaworthy.
Always glad to be able celebrate River Day!
