As you can see by Monday’s photo of my campsite it is spring here. There are some large turkeys in the campground. Plants are budding. The banks of the river look very different to me.
Large bodies of water have a thermocline which is a separation of colder water under warmer water. I guess in the fall and spring there will be a thermocline turnover. I read that is what is going on in Navajo Lake, the reservoir above the dam. Water constantly flows under the dam. That water is the San Juan River. The water now coming from under the dam is very milky and the river is low. The fish are still there but I haven’t been able to see one. I didn’t catch any fish. Usually if you stand still for a while you will see fish. They aren’t that afraid of people.
I drove four long days to get here. Yesterday I fished and drove to Aztec to grocery shop and get a couple of small pieces of steel for a repair. Today I’m going to kinda relax and recover. I’m not going to turn a trip into a job. My trailer and truck are horrible messes that need to be straightened out. I’ll putter around with that. There isn’t a hurry but I need to repair a couple of things on my trailer. Might as well get that out of the way.
Good plan.
Enjoyed talking with you as always.
