Well, its the third and I did not get the boat launched, but I did get the whole thing put together and most of my stuff packed into it. Robert the head park ranger is coming down to help me push off at 8 tomorrow morning. It got up to 70 degrees today with very light breezes. Hard to believe that it was snowing and freezing yesterday and the day before. The wind is just now picking up at the end of the day.
A few fishermen out today at the foot of the falls. They were catching walleye and musky, doing well at it. Yesterday, i froze and today I slept in until almost 8AM. I got up to brightened skies and no coat weather. Called Lorrie hoping to get her mother's phone number. I am hoping she might be able to bring out my fiberglass cloth and my phone charger.
Jammie, Lorrie's mother, called after 6PM this evening. By then I had just packed the last of my tools into the boats. Maybe another day she can help me pick up those things and get my hair cut. I kept getting tangled in the briers yesterday and today as I carried things between camp and the boats. I can't comb out all the thorns, but it only a little problem.
I am sure glad I have no schedule, Daddy. I am not moving fast. I still have a fever from the urinary tract infection. It makes me achy. I ate a whole jar of my dill pickles and then drank all the vinegar hoping to kill the burn and start the flow again.
Sure was a nice day. lots of folks came by to ask what I was doing. Many expressed shock about an older woman traveling so far and being alone for so long. I told them that I hoped Dezra can come later. Donnie Turner of "Blue Cat on the New" a river guide service asked me to stop by as I pass his campground. His wife and co-driver gave me directions with landmarks recognizable from the river. She was very nice.
I suppose i should turn in. Thanks for the day, the deer and geese. All was lovely.
