PODs like today's make my mouth water.

That is a great fish on a great day in the Q!

Thanks. We caught 3 about that size on that trip, two 45”, one 46”.

That's a very nice NP there Jimmar and Son!

I can say with a certain level of confidence who probably built that (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links). We added welding gloves to our equipment list around 2002 for the sole reason of moving hot boulders.

That would hold my attention.

If you didn't know better you would think you were at the ocean with a big wave crashing in!

Here’s a more dramatic version.

You don't want to be out in open water far from shore when you see this front come rolling in!

Thank you, Mk and Jimbo.  Evidently our esteemed leader has reached back into some old trip reports to find this group of photos from our time in the canoe country in 2012.  I must confess that some of these recent photos have surprised even me, but the one today is a favorite that brings a tear to my eye even this many years later.  She loves the canoe country.  She will be the one who makes sure that our ashes get to the BWCA someday.  And she was and still is the least of a “morning person” we have EVER known!  So this photo with her Grandpa in the morning mist. . .it was an aberration and a one-time possibility!  I love it!   Just looking at it takes me back to that morning and makes me want to take out the book from that trip and look at all of the photos again.

Maybe I’ll do that.  I’m retired.  I can waste some hours in a morning if I want to.
