Lake of the Pines 38 years later

It was 38 years ago when Sherri and I first camped at Lake of the Pines. Sherri's mom and dad volunteered to keep the kids so we could get away for a while. We started out in Arkansas and slowly worked our way down to Lake of the Pines in East Texas.
The lake itself has not changed that much since we camped there in a tent. I tried to find the exact camp site that we used but after 38 years one forgets some of the details.
We have a real nice site and I have launched my boat to go fishing this morning.
We got up early and made coffee in our outside kitchen. It was nice being able to make our coffee outside and not have to go back and forth inside to get the next cup.
Fishing turned out to be quite lucrative. I bagged 4 nice size catfish and soon had them cleaned and bagged for the freezer.
Having never used my boat for fishing I learned a lot about what to take and what not to. I don't have much room to move around or stow things so I have to be very particular on what I bring along.
Drift fishing is my favorite form of fishing and this little inflatable is idea for just that.
After returning to the camp site I made everyone a big breakfast of bacon and eggs with toast. It was about 9:30 and this would do us until after noon. We skipped lunch and spent the rest of the day sitting under the patio cover watching it rain. Yes we had rain the rest of the day and it cooled things down to the 70's.
Our first day was all we could have hoped for...
