a quick trip to Playa

Last spring some friends of ours (Mike and Becky) were planning a trip to Playa del Carmen for December.  DeeDee and I have always gone to Playa later in the winter, but let’s just say they twisted our arms…..  that and the combination of the fact that we were able to get really cheap airfare [...]

August misc. / random stuff

Oh man,  I am so far behind on my blogging.  We have been keeping real busy for the past couple of months.  Not sure I can remember what all happened since my last blog, but I’ll write some stuff anyway.

Canadian fly-in fishing trip

This June I was very fortunate to be able to make another fly-in fishing trip in Canada.  The year we went with Loon Haunt Outposts for the 4th time.  This time we went to a new lake.  The lake is actually called Unnamed Lake.  Loon Haunt has the only cabin on this lake so we [...]

Wyoming mule deer hunt

I’m back from Wyoming.  John and I had a great hunt in our first time hunting western Wyoming.  This would have been a great hunt even if we hadn’t been successful.
We left Minnesota and spent the first night at a motel in Edgemont South Dakota.  I can’t say that it was a good motel, but what [...]
