No luck fishing this morning, but look at this sky. These were shot just up river from our camp. The clouds are so close it looks like you can almost reach up and touch them. Just beautiful.
Bob: We went for another bike ride. Bonnie made 16 miles while I did 21. Stopped about a mile down the road and talked to a lady who had some items for sale. She told us to be careful of bears as they are around. Last week one tried to get into her screened-in porch. It had one paw through the screen, but her dog scared it away! Everyone says bear will run from humans unless you get between the mama and her cubs. I'm not convinced all the bears know that.
Time for supper. First batch of chili, biscuits and some grilled veggies, topped off with blueberry pie and ice cream. We're really roughing it.
Fishing went pretty well this evening. Bonnie is getting the hang of it. Spinning reel is giving her fits though. I think the line was put on incorrectly and that is causing the problem. Cut some line off tonight and that helped some. No big fish tonight. The perch sure ate a lot of our worms. And Bonnie did re-hook a worm, but not without some sighing and wincing. But a good job!!
Planned a fishing trip with Karl. Going to try a pike lake Saturday. He says they take a lot of 30" and bigger pike out of that lake. If they aren't biting there he said there is another lake not far we will try. Have to carry a canoe into both of these lakes. Probably won't take my 3 tackle boxes and 4 fishing poles. Will take the camera and LIFE JACKET. After all, I did throw Karl in the lake the last time we were in the same boat. Payback could happen. Can't wait to go though.
Bonnie: Today I will finish my talk, clean some, and practice Primary songs. Oh yes, and probably do some fishing. We need to catch some fish so we can have it for dinner at least a few nights each week. The pressure's on!!
I had a relatively good evening fishing. I caught half a clam, a minuscule perch which we threw back into the river, a small perch and small walleye which we will eat tomorrow night. And I had a first tonight. I actually touched a worm! It was hanging off the line and Bob told me to put part of the worm back on the hook, which I did! Worms are gross, by the way. When we got back the Br. President was waiting for us on the dock. He gave us a list of the members of this branch. We'll try to visit as many as we can while we are here. Because we've not been trained as missionaries, it's a little daunting. But we will be prayerful and hopefully will be able to do some good.
