WHAT! WINTER ALREADY?

MY LAST POSTING WAS IN MAY JUST BEFORE THE SUMMER RUSH TO THE RIVER. AS SOON AS SCHOOL WAS OVER, CROWDS OF PEOPLE VISITED THE SHORT STRETCH BETWEEN SIX MILE HILL AND BOY SCOUT RANCH TO TRANSFORM WHITE LEGS AND TEST THE TEMPERATURE OF THE CLEAR WATER.

NON FEE CAMP SITE ON THE RIVER

AND STILL THE TWO CABINS KEPT AN AURA OF PRIVACY AND PEACE. OUR USUAL HERD OF DEER CROSSED THE RIVER BELOW THE RIVER CABIN AND GRAZED IN THE FIELD NEXT TO THE MEADOW CABIN. MY BLACK LAB BROUGHT ME A TURTLE WHO WAS ENJOYING THE SHADE OF A ROCK NEAR THE RIVER CABIN.
