Very cool, GeoduckClams wrote:So a few weeks ago we drove the kids up to Gloucester, Mass for a short family vaca. Junior and I got up early a few days to fish the rocks for striped bass and, one morning right after sunrise, I noticed a man taking pics in our direction with his phone. Fast forward a few hours later at breakfast, we were talking about the fishing, and a guy at the next table goes "Excuse me, I just overheard you talking about fishing, was that you on the rocks this morning?" I said yeah that was us and he said I've got a great photo of you and your son, give me your email and I'll send it to you....

Popped a doe with my muzzle loader Saturday morning. Going back in the morning and rifle season opens here in Georgia Saturday. The temps are supposed to drop in the morning too. I love this time of year.

Re: Outdoor Thread
Last weekend the Mrs and I and the kids flew out to Phoenix, AZ for our nephew's bar mitzvah. The kids hadn't ever been to the Southwest before and they wanted to get out of the city and see the desert. So we spent last Friday driving all 45 miles of the Apache Trail through the Superstition Mountains up to Roosevelt Dam. The final 22 miles of the Trail is unpaved dirt road. Beautiful rugged country, really fun driving, and a great day.

Re: Outdoor Thread
Last weekend at DBT Homecoming in Athens, Pearlbeer (Mat) and his buddy Kasey, who are from Austin, had arranged an afternoon of fly fishing and they were nice enough to ask me to come along. So Friday around 11am, we picked up some beers and sandwiches and drove on up to Helen, GA which is in the mountains about 60 miles north of Athens along the Chattahoochee River. We met up with our guide and geared up and hit the stream for about 4 hours. The weather was absolutely beautiful (70 and sunny) and so were the rainbow trout. The river was narrow but there were some cold, deep pools that held some absolutely huge fucking fish. It had been a few years since I last fly fished, so it took a little while to get the hang of it - but in the end I had netted 5 or 6 trout and they were the biggest freshwater fish I've ever caught (check out Kasey's monster below). We were back in Athens in time for dinner and then late night rock show with the Truckers in the Fabulous 40 Watt. Thank you Mat and Kasey for letting me tag along on your fishing trip, it was a really great day. Trucker fans are the best.

Re: Outdoor Thread
What a great day. An amazing day fishing and the Rock Show on top of it. Awesome.
One night as we were standing in line at the 40 Watt looking at the line of DBT fans waiting to get in the door...which just looked like a mass of facial hair and flannel, and smelled like a Frat party.....we had a discussion, that we were quite possibly observing a most interesting and rare Vin-Diagram.

Awesome! I love the North Georgia mountains. I get up there a good bit but nearly as often as I want to. Me and a buddy are planning a trout fishing and camping trip right now.

We were lucky enough to land in Utah 36 hr before Park City got 12" of snow. Fabulous time skiing in conditions I rarely see back east.
Re: Outdoor Thread
Some #plant17 farming pics
The bean drill rolling last night. We have less than a day of planting left. Rain will have us sidelined for a good 3-5 days though.
Prairie wind blowin' through my hair
Rock removal crew
Windmills everywhere (if you look closely at the street sign you'll see that it's "State Line Street" - I'm sitting in Minnesota looking back across the road to Iowa)
Big sky, big sunset
It ain't all flowers, sometimes you gotta feel the thorns

Further proof that size doesn't matter.
That's a native brook trout, the state fish of Pennsylvania.

Re: Outdoor Thread
kinda tough to leave the ocean behind though. that's my only misgiving about heading to the peaks.
Re: Outdoor Thread
Two of my three brothers have relocated to SoCal in the last few years. We'd probably get to see them and the Pacific a hell of a lot more than we ever see the Atlantic.
Would put the fam in Idaho and Alaska and friends in AZ within striking distance too.
The grass is rarely greener. But I like to stay on top of my options.

Did you get to Moab Brewing? A delightful surprise in the Polygamy State.

Drove right past it. We were headed to the Lasal mountains above Moab and unfortunately I didn't have time to stop. I was performing a wedding ceremony for the first time the next day and doing some last minute freak out that I wasn't properly prepared.Iowan wrote:Telluride is the most stunning place I've been.Beebs wrote:No pics right now but I just got back from Denver > Breckenridge > Telluride > Moab > Leadville > Denver.

I did manage to stop at a grocery store and discover that the big breweries do actually produce 3.2% to sell in Utah. All your normal Budweisers and Coronas and whatever sitting on the shelf with 3.2% stamped on the box.
Got to hang out around town quite a bit and was struck by how many people around me were obviously neighbors and seemed like fairly normal, middle class folks. Seems like a nice and pretty normal little community. I'm just not sure how normal seeming folks afford to live in that resort economy.LBRod wrote:My next visit to Colorado will include time in Telluride, home to our own Boyourself.

Re: Outdoor Thread
Minnesota (if you're in a grocery store or gas station) and Oklahoma have 3.2 beer as well. There's probably others.
