Standing Indian NRA (Sep 8-12)

We finished packing last minute things like the refrigerator and got off about noon. It is only 39 miles, so it took us less than an hour to get there. We had to fill with water, then set up on our site (12). After having some lunch and hiking around, we fished awhile from the bank. The water was low and very clear in the river, making these spooky fish even more so. We got numerous strikes, but Joan was the only one to hook up on the whole trip, but only temporarily. We only fished within 1/2 mile of the campground and may have done better if we had gone to a place where our friend Steve took us last year, but we couldn't remember exactly how to get to where to enter and exit the river.
We got to know our neighbors, Michael and Rhonda and on Wednesday they took us with them on hikes to Picken's Nose (yes, that's right) and Albert Mountain. These were both wonderful hikes, with gorgeous panoramic views. Albert Mountain is on the Appalachian Trail.
Something seems to be drawing down the batteries in the motor home, so John has been troubleshooting the problem, but so far, no solution.
The weather was perfect and no rain, even though clouds threatened off and on.
