Happy 4th of July!! American is 234 years old, which is actually quite young when compared to any country in Europe.
Guess how Rick and I celebrated Independence Day? That's right, up on the roof of the cabin laying shingles. We got most of the roof complete and with any luck we should be able to wrap up the shingling part of the operation tomorrow.
After cleaning up and eating brats for dinner, we went fishing. We used our usual method of trolling between the cabin and the middle of the bay between Second Duck Point and Duck Point in 9-12 feet of water.
The water temperature tonight was 75.4 degrees, the air temperature was 72 degrees, there was no wind to speak of so the lake was almost still, and the moon was just past half at 49% waning.
Just after sunset we started seeing multiple fireworks display, with the biggest, most impressive and longest lasting coming from Walker, where fireworks filled the night sky for more than an hour.
Throughout the night we caught a few rock bass, but also managed to boat two smallish walleyes. I caught a 16-inch walleye and Rick caught a 14-incher. Both fish were quickly released back into Leech Lake.
We came ashore around 11:00 p.m. and mentally prepared for the final push on the roof the next day. Although it is technically a national holiday, we'll be pounding nails and trying to finish off the roofing project (at least the major part of it). Until tomorrow.
