Winter Excursion 9, Day 143 The Life of a Camp Host

Cath is getting better everyday. We both got back to our host duties after our three days off. It rained this morning just to remind us how fun hosting in the rain can be.
It was actually a slow day as the campground is still full with the Air Stream Rally folks. That will all change tomorrow when they all leave at once. That will be 21 sites to clean!
The find of the day was another fishing lure.
Just like all the rest it now lives in my tackle box.
The bird of the day is just a story. I wanted a pic, but got carried away with the issue.
One of the campers reported a Blue Herron in distress out on one of the peninsulas. Cath and and I checked it out and sure enough the Herron was there. We rode the cart back to the gate and asked if there was a phone number for wildlife rescue or something like it. Meanwhile a young couple pulled into the campground to look around. They found the Herron out on the peninsula. The young man took of his shoes and socks, rolled up his pants, waded out and grabbed the bird. Turns out the Herron was wrapped up in fishing line and had the lure hook through it's leg. The couple worked on the fishing line and I went back to our camper for a wire cutter. Back at the bird we cut the hook, backed it out, and released the Herron. He said THANKS!
