Walker Island – Day Two

Tuesday was a beautiful day! We spent the day fishing, set crawdad traps, digging holes and swimming.  The water was like glass and there was only a slight breeze. It was perfect!

River camp day 2 01 it was fun to watch the dark ominous cloud roll in from the coast and break up as it neared

We had some neighbors come in during the afternoon, but they spent most of the day out in their boat and we didn’t see much of them.

River camp day 2 12 the boys decided to build some Burmese tiger traps to discourage future neighbors LOL

Chris brought us some items that we needed, the most necessary of which was the bee trap. The yellowjackets were terrible! Any time we ate or cooked, there they were. Although my soaking pots and pans made very effective traps, the real trap had over 150 dead bees in it when I cleaned it out at home!
