9-4-17 - (Day 35 - Happy Labor Day)

We woke up, walked out, and thought, is that fog we see?  Nope, it was smoke.  There were ashes dropping from the sky covering everything, including us. 


We caught 2 more pack rats during the night, getting the count up to 7. 

We watched a doe and a buck walk through the campground to the river then swim across.




Cry Baby was very squawky this morning   The Bald Eagles, Osprey, and Ducks were hard at it.



The sun was an amazing when it rose above the hill. The smoke in the air gave it a beautiful reddish glow.

Ferny Kat kept looking for her Gopher friend.  He apparently didn’t want to be friends anymore after she swatted at him.  His empty hole was filling back up with dirt.

The chipmunks were scurrying around, which she decided to befriend.  She ran one up a tree and waited a long while for him to come down as he barked at her.  Every time she would give up and walk off, he would attempt to climb down, and she would go back to treeing him.  After a long wait, he was finally able to safely get out of the tree.


We went into town to get our connectivity fix.  We observed Emergency Management setting up their Fire Camp at our favorite internet spot.  It was not as peaceful with all the semis unloading their supplies. We quickly got our stuff done and got out of town.

The boating traffic was active this morning but slowed down dramatically this afternoon.  The few campers in here were cleared out by 11 am.  That left us and another camper, we rarely see the other camper neighbor. 


It was a nice peaceful Labor Day grilling ribs sitting around watching the critters till bedtime.
