Campground Adventure

Saturday morning was spectacular.  No wind and warmer temperatures drew us out to explore the damage to our beloved campground just over the bridge past downtown Ennis.

Here are some photos of what we found.  The first is the entrance to the boat ramp area.  The second is on the way out.  You can see where Ken is standing is where the road was before the river gorged this winter. The last is on the way out.  The river is a powerful force.

We saw our first osprey and blue heron.  In some places the ice was still about six feet deep.  It was strange walking to the river over ice.  Ken returned in the afternoon to join several other fishermen on the Madison River.

Today it was snowing when we woke.  It snowed until mid afternoon.  When I shoveled the deck it appeared to be between six and seven inches of snow.  They are predicting temperatures in the mid sixties by this weekend.
