Ahh Saturday (you're pulling this off)
Seems I was the first one awake again today - and for the same reason. When Robin woke up, she was excited to know there would be Timmy's coffee ready and waiting. While eating breakfast around the fire, we happened to look up only to happen to see a black bear on the cliff on the other side of the river. How exciting. (and a little nerve racking) So yes Cat, there are bears at Lundbreck Falls.
We spent the morning hanging out in the river on the chairs. There wasn't a cloud in the sky. We had a late breakfast so by the time lunchtime came around, nobody was really hungry. So we made our usual Saturday trek into Blairmore for ice cream. Before we hit the icecream shop, we visited downtown Blairmore. Nothing fancy, but there were a couple of cute specialty shops. I came away with some toe rings from the specialty Drug Store. (only in a small town) Made a pit stop at Timmy's and the Liquor Store before heading for our ice cream. In the last three years, Janice and I have always come to the little corner gas station on the highway between Beilville and Blairmore for our ice cream. So we stopped this time, only to discover that the gas station was open, but the food and ice cream shop was closed. Apparently they are going through renovations and according the the young clerk girl, that famous hamburger place is opening up - you know the one with the Bear. Oh, A&W. So with much disappointment we settled for a drumstick and all from the ice cream fridge.
Once we got back to our campsite, everyone found a chair and we chatted, read and did our own thing. I managed to beat Robin in the only game of crib we played. It was still pretty hot so the other ladies put their chairs in the river. I needed a much needed nap, but the tent was just too hot and I wanted to lay down. So I did the next best thing. I gathered up extra clothes and headed to the falls. I put my shirts on the rock, layed my head down, and didn't hear a thing until much later when the ladies came by. We walked back to camp and got supper ready. Steak, potatoes, greek salad and garlic toast. It was delicious.
Everyone was still full so smores around the camp fire that night were very limited. Again Robin and I were the first ones to turn in. But this time Janice and Cat followed shortly after - the snake in the fire wood spooked them a little.
BODY: A little dirty, but tanned and relaxed
MIND: A little dirty...... I mean "Very rested and full of humor.
GOOD NIGHT
