| The clouds thickened and the air was very still Friday morning. This turned out to be a clear harbinger for things to come. |
| Rain! It started early Friday afternoon and ended Monday morning varying from a thin mist to a downpour. Some residents were overheard saying that the area needed it. This may be, but the deluge put a damper on many weekend plans. |
| The rafto season opened and the water was judged to be cold by all the contenders. |
| The only spector for the first rafto game was not there to view the subtle nuances of preseason rafto but rather to peck holes in trees and look for bugs. |
| I said it last year and I'll say it again...Ferns! |
| The skies cleared and the temperatures rose to the high 60's on Monday. |
| Some had already arrived to view the second rafto game on Monday when it was canceled due to the low water temperature and lack of interest. |
| The gathered showed there disapproval by hooting and eating fish. |
| On the way home at the intersection of 52 and 32 outside Wabeno Mrs. Nemo spotted a bear and cub. I unpacked and readied the camera in record time and managed this picture. |
| The weather is predicted to be better next weekend and the water should be warmer too. |
