The state park rangers offered a class on crabbing at the pier on the Pellicer River. I have done some of that with my brother but Judy had never gone crabbing so we attended the class. They showed us information about crabs, then how to make an inexpensive crab string which we used to try our hand at catching one. I think it is still too cold, even though it was in the low 80's today, for the crabs to be very hungry or active. We didn't see anyone catch anything. The ranger had a male crab, called a Jimmy, and a female crab, called a Sally, for demonstration purposes so if Judy shows you a picture of a crab, she didn't catch it herself!
Since we are on a river that joins the inter-coastal waterway, we rented canoes and paddled up stream hopping to see wildlife like herons, egrets, fish and gators. The first two we did see, but so sign of any gators. It must be too cold for them to be in the water.
Ray & Judy are huge Denver Broncos fans so John and I prepared dinner while watching the Bronco/Raven game with them. It was a good game, too bad Denver lost.
