OK No Snow-Then I’ll Hike

January 18, 2012 Cross Country Skiing

As some of you know I’ve been ranting, complaining, and whining, because we haven’t had any snow here to speak off. I love to cross country ski and it’s a little hard to do with no snow. They’re even warning people to stay off of some lakes due to the warm weather. Come on, this is […]

Rum River Canoe Trip

July 31, 2011 Canoeing

I just spent 6 hours canoeing down the Rum River from the North Country Park in St. Francis to the Central Regional Park in Anoka.

Love Those Crappies

May 10, 2011 Fishing

Nothing like starting the spring fishing season with some good ole’ crappie fishing. We spent Saturday afternoon on Leech Lake and had a blast. We also caught several large sunfish, a couple of walleyes, and lots of northern pike. My dad loves catching crappies, as you can tell by the grin on his face. Most were […]
