Kelly J Don's Dock

Pete is still here for one more night. We got out of the house at about a quarter to 8 and headed right to Don's. When we arrived Don was out on his dock per usual. He had been getting a few gills.

There was a light breeze out of the NE.I put in at the Platte Lake Access and headed North.
