Bannock Sawbill to Cherokee July 07
by Bannock
We were up at 6:00 a.m. but didn’t have breakfast until 9:00 – eggs, bacon, toasted bagels, and peanut butter. During clean up we had a hare jog through camp. He wasn’t being chased and he wasn’t scared of us. He was just passing through. He was the biggest hare I have ever seen. He was the size of a large raccoon. The three of us just looked at each other and said, “Did you see that?” This was a HOT day. We could tell it was going to be a hot one at 9:00 a.m. We later found out that the high for the day as recorded by Sawbill Outfitter was 93, the low 76, and the humidity 91%. To top it off there was no breeze.
We spent the day just trying to survive the heat – swimming, reading, napping, and finding shade. We went nowhere.
Supper that night was a Jim/WI’s famous recipe – Roasted Chicken Rice with Harvest Vegetables and biscuits.
