Frank's Corner

The latest river gossip  here!

I am usually agreeable and compliant regarding requests to pitch in and do things for the Alliance but this Frank’s Corner thing is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard of. And, you the reader have Dennis Fischer and his constant nagging to thank for it. Dennis just won’t let up. At every meeting he nags about two things: “We need web page content”, and
“We have nothing for Frank’s corner.” So, here it is:

The National Park Service is having a sale on drift wood up on the lake. The first 50 boat loads are free and after that it is a nickel per boat load.

When discussing the river flows and snow melt this Spring Bill Pederson made the observation which might serve the Bureau of Reclamation well. He observed that “snow melts and water runs down hill”.

During late August a good number of Black Bears have been sighted along the river. Obviously they are attracted by the sensational Buffalo Berry and Chokecherry crops this year. Merritt Harris and two clients spotted a Mountain Lion on the high bank just up-stream from Big Horn Access. They were all sober at the time and are telling a very consistent story. What a cool thing. How many of you have seen a Mountain Lion? (Rhetorical question)
About all I’ve seen lately are two muskrats, a black bird, and a skunk.

During the course of the Summer I learned why people retire: THEY SHOULD!

NOTE TO WEB MASTER: Dear Dennis, I’m sorry that you do not approve of the quality of the photos of the Evening Stars. These are the best I can find. In fact I
Can’t even find the site where I got these in the first place. Again, enough of the nagging…… I’m surprised, however, that you did not correct me for spelling infertile as infernal in the description of the flower.
I think that this information could be on this web site for a hundred years and no one would read it any way so use the photos as they are-.

Could this be our naggy webmaster?

There is a guide working out of Fort Smith by the name of Rufus O’Leary. He’s a tall slender fellow with blond hair and looks a lot like Willie Nelson. Rumor has it that he and his highly trained dog named Pester have been stealing wading shoes all over town. Be on the alert. At times Rufus has been seen rowing a camouflage Willie Boat. Also note that when seen on the river he rarely wears matching wading shoes.

Many places along the West or North side of the Big Horn, on the more infernal and barren clay areas we are seeing an abundance of the Ten Petal Evening Star (Mentzelia decapetala) in bloom. These are large blossoms which only fully open at night and are pollinated by large moths. Very interesting plant which is only common where it is common.
