After a leisurely breakfast we headed out on a hike. At first we were looking for a trail, then we looked for animals then we just walked along a mountain stream running thru a HUGE gravel berm. This sounds like it would be easy walking but the gravel is big rocks that the snows have pushed down off the mountain and piled up in the valley and then the melted snow has carved a small creek or river bed thru it. John was determined to cross the creek but it was about 5 feet wide most of the way with 1 to 2 feet of really fast moving water. He finally saw a spot that he thought he could jump but WHOOPS! Into the water he went! Luckily it was just his shoes that got wet.
After lunch John got the kayak ready for fishing and went down the lake about a mile or so. He didn't catch anything but I enjoyed the time by myself writing postcards and reading. As I was preparing supper, the Conservation Agent stopped by our site looking for someone in a silver SUV who had been seen fishing off the bridges and along the lake. After some gentle questioning John volunteered that he had been fishing without a license! He had tried to buy one at the lodge down the road but it had to be done on the internet and their generator was not working. John only got a warning.
It did not rain all day and at one point I actually put on shorts for about an hour! The first time on this trip! We built a fire and enjoyed a nice evening with the sun shining and a fire crackling. Sunset is way after we go to bed!
