Had another quiet day, Hubby not feeling up to taking another ride, and it rained again, a lot during the night and more this morning. Rested most of the day, did some work around the RV, then sat down to make some setups for my fishing pole. One of the neighbors told me she liked to fish, too, and invited me to a private lake she had acquired permission to fish in, so after digging up some worms at the head of the stalls, we arranged to leave about 7 that evening, with a promise to be back by 9 or so for the fireworks. At 6:55, there was a deluge of rain, but fortunately it was over 15 minutes later, when my neighbor showed up and we headed out. The pond was very close, about the same distance as the state pond only in the opposite direction, and we settled down to fish. She ended up catching 3 bass, I got one bass and one sunfish, but she gave them all to me, so I’ve got dinner for tomorrow night. We got back at dusk, said our goodbyes, and then I got Hubby bundled up and we climbed up the fire tower. I had asked Creighton, the new young intern ranger, if it were possible to open the very top of the fire tower, which is usually locked, and we usually would just sit on the stairs, but when we reached the top, it was wide open. Because it was glassed in, it was much warmer than we expected, which was great, and a few minutes later, Creighton joined us. Surprisingly, no one else came up, and we enjoyed the spectacle by ourselves. A pretty good showing, particularly the Ring of Fire around the lake to the west. With thanks to Creighton, we descended and returned to our routine for the rest of the night.
