Since our time here we have been freezing the fish we’ve caught.  Tonight was the night we decided to have a fish fry.  Everyone was welcome.  Belinda talked to Steve and we set up a fire pit next to the Pavilion.  Steve even donated some firewood.  Belinda set up a grill and flat top so she could cook fish there.  I took a baggie full of fish (5 trout) and brined them in water, salt, and brown sugar for about 15 minutes.  Then I smoked them low and slow.  We had baked beans, salads, and brownies.  There were also sloppy joes for us non-fish eaters.  All total about 20 fish were cooked and only about 3 left over.  Fred and Carol and Belinda and Cathy played corn hole.  It was a great evening.  In addition to everyone mentioned, Steve and Kelly and Corben and Shilo also joined the festivities.  The next day we had to clean up and make sure that no evidence of a campfire was evident in the area.  Great night.
