Day 2 in Frankfort, and the wind is a blowin’
First thing on the agenda this morning…the bakery!
There is a great bike trail that passes next to the marina so we decided to ride off a few of the bakery calories. Our plan was to bike against the wind first so it would be an easier ride back. It felt like we were riding against the wind. But when we turned around to go back there was no mistaking which way the wind was coming from. And we were pedaling into it! By Wednesday night the lake is predicted to have gale force winds. So no lake travel tomorrow.
As we biked along, we could see a couple of boys up ahead of us. They had something big hanging from one of the handlebars and seemed to be struggling with it. As we got nearer, we could see it was a huge salmon! They told us they had “hooked up” with several but this was the only one they landed. And no net by the way. Ross asked them what they used for bait. They told him they use a certain kind of yarn that looks like fish eggs when it’s in the water. The boy told us he would clean it by himself but he probably would have his mom cook it. It warmed our hearts to see these two kids on their bikes, tanned to the color of a baked potato because they had spent the summer outdoors instead of in front of a video game.Who needs a big fancy fishing charter when all you need is a fish pole and yarn????
After happy hour at SALT N SAND, some of us walked up town Dinghy’s restaurant. Ribs are the specialty and most of ordered them. Richard opted for the smoked turkey leg. Looks good doesn’t it?
