Day 3: Coal Banks to Hole in the Wall

Our third 20 mile day. We float from Coal Banks camp ground which had potable water to refill our containers, a visitor's center (not yet open for the season) and a large trash dumpster. It is also a major RV campground as it is accessible by river and road. However, we were the only people camping at Coal Banks. Hole in the Wall, on the other hand is river access only. It had a shelter (half shed) and vault toilets and a fenced campground with lots of views of the whole in a rock wall. Again, no other boaters arrived and we had the entire place to ourselves. We had bratwursts that we grilled first then wrapped in flake pastry (again thanks Philsbury) and made pig in the blankets much the same as we made cinnamon rolls. This was a big hit for everyone and Jude again providing ample entertainment made a point system for starting the fire with as few matches as possible, the technique of cooking as well as the success of the meal to please the group. I got 40 points, but then he challenged Cassie to cook tomorrow's meal to compete with me. This was fun.Baca selengkapnya
