I spent the day at my campsite switching over my gear from fishing to bird hunting. License, ammo, orange clothes, all ready to go.
It's supposed to start raining in the afternoon and continue off and on through Thursday. Friday-Sunday forecast is good. The original plan was for Brian to join me here at Spring Creek Wednesday night but with Thursday being a likely washout including lightning I think he'd be better off coming Thursday night.
More signs of Fall: yellow jackets are in frenzy mode and some flecks of yellow are in the aspens. Yes, the bees are busy, busy, busy. As soon as one YJ thinks it's got something edible, 3 or 4 others join it. Very annoying.
It was remarkably warm today for the time of year and elevation. More bow hunters arrived and all of the campsites here are now occupied. Earlier in the summer only one other site was taken when I got here. Hopefully, that means this area is good for birds too.
The wildfire I saw last night is at Black Mountain near Hot Sulphur Springs. Smoke obscured the entire northern end of the valley all day and there are no reports of it getting dramatically worse. I wager the rain will help slow it down.
