Day 2: Wood Bottom to Coal Banks

Day two we had favorable wind at our backs and a bit of sunshine here and there. We packed our canoes for the second time glad that we left the heavy coolers in the boats and just off loaded only our meal for the night and the necessities. The first night at Wood Bottom was rib-eye steaks, broccoli and cheesy garlic bread. Yes, it was delish! Our dinner on our second night is meaty chili stew and cinnamon rolls cooked on the open fire. Very satisfying even though I forgot to put the frosting on before we gobbled the rolls up. Thank you Pillsbury! Just pop the can, wrap individually in heavy foil and put them on the outer edge of the hot wood coals. Cooking for tired, hungry people who have been outside all day turns out to be a lot of accolades for very little effort.

The bee was rescued by Jude as it was drowning on the river. Turns out Jude had the net in the water a lot scooping up may flies and happened to scoop up this bee. He put it on the cooler let it dry itself in the sun and we all watched it take off and rise high into the air. The boy is now a bee whisperer. So much fun to take him anywhere because he can find something interesting in the smallest of things.Baca selengkapnya
