Today was a day with no plans!
The group did decide to buy lobsters for lunch. The lobster restaurant/pound will (and did) cook the purchased lobster for $5--not each, for all of them. Glen and Jeff also bought corn on the cob at a roadside stand. So-o--o the menu was lobster and corn on the cob. Delicious.
During the afternoon there was a discussion of the book "Blood River Rising". This is one man's memories of an incident in 1924 in Miller County, Missouri. Over a period of several months a feud developed between two families, The Crismons and Thompsons, which involved the KKK, and ended in murder. Logan Hickey, brother of Glen's father, was present during the months of the feud and at the murder.
The discussion involved questions about the location of Glen's father at this time. He would have been ten. There were also lots of questions, and not many answers, about Hickey/Crismon history. The family members present discussed whether they had memories of conversations of this incident.
Yesterday there was a cool/cold breeze across the fog covered water, with occasional mist. After the book discussion everyone retired to their rig for the evening.
