Hey Jim, your post got me to thinking I needed to head out. Took the snowmachines for a 30 mile run with a couple of hunting/fishing buddies to a nice desolate spot and started "Livin' the Dream" We each caught about 15-20 Northern Pike, good day.
John
Heading in early morning.

Like the title says John; "You are living the dream".. Looks like a fantastic day, in a fantastic place. I'm sure Jim will agree. :highclap:
Dave
That just awesome :yoyo:
There's some serious meat on that one in the 7th pic. Nice healthy diameter for her length.
My pics were just living the dream, but these more like LIVING THE DREAM! :jump:
How well did being down in that river bed protect you's from the wind?
If I woulda been with you, and had to turn around to take that last pic...it would been tough for me to leave, seeing that. :sad:
Thanks for sharing the trip :wink:
We were very fortunate yesterday Jim, clear and no wind. The last two weeks we where down there marking trail the wind on the lakes was brutal, but when we dropped down into the creeks it was fine. Glad you enjoyed the pictures.
John
You guys keep the pics a coming. The snow and ice is beautiful to me and enjoy looking at them.
However there is no way I could live in that cold day in and day out. I suppose you guys would say the same for the summer heat and humidity here.

John I think your idea of a desolate spot and most other people are two different things. :laf:
Thanks for all the pics.
I know a retired leo up there that has invited me up to hunt and hope I can make it happen.
