This Years Riverbank
This is for Roger and Mike. It shows what the boardwalk and bank looks like at the RV park we’ll be fishing this year.
The ice was vicious this year. This is how it looked on April 6th.
The view from the bridge.
It didn’t get better up close.
This view is downstream from what’s let of the cleaning tables.
This was how it looked two days ago. The ice is mostly gone and the water will be steadily rising from now on.
This series of photos starts at the same spot I took the second photo above and runs from here to about 100 yds upstream. 
This is the section just above the cleaning tables.
This is looking downstream at the large rock shown in the photo above. this is right across from last years campsite.
Some bad snags right in front of this rock.
Hopefully, they will get it all rebuilt before July.
Weather should be perfect for the project.
So far I've reached acceptable proficiency at the following, in chronological order: Silversmith, infantryman/door gunner, helicopter pilot, fireman, carpenter, residential contractor, FAA Air Traffic Control Specialist and crotchety old retired guy. Currently, I'm learning to fly again and that is what this is all about. 7/7/2020 edit: As I have had the opportunity to reflect (old people do that a lot) on my actual proficiency level at the above occupations, I feel adjustments are in order. The term "acceptable" depends on the observer, their own proficiency and experience level. Acceptable to me might be woefully deficient to the master. I think it would be more accurate to claim that I have earned a living wage at all of these occupations but never got rich. Actually, I feel that I have gotten rich at the last one. I have what I need and am profoundly grateful for all of it. The future looks bright indeed, as I have learned to fly again. For that I have all of you to thank. Thank You!
