island lake... should be called "really small fish lake"

Sunday may 20th, time to canoe. and fish. mike, tom and i all piled into truck 2 and headed past beaver lake to island lake. it is part of a 4 lake chain that we decided would be a good place to do some fishing and canoeing. The forestry site is pretty easy to get to, and we didn't waste much time getting ripping.

mike and i lighting the fire.  how else do you cook chicken?

forgot the bbq tongs.  necessity is the mother of invention.  and possibly frustration the father

the previously mentioned chicken, cooking.  tongs in action

the canoe beached at the our cook spot on deer lake

there are fish in the lake, but they are so small that we didn't keep any of them.  Great spot to canoe, lousy spot to fish.

my camera decided that the batteries, although charged all night, were going to be dead this morning.  wtf man.  thanks to tom for providing some sweet shots.  more to come possibly.

biking, 4x4ing and firewood.

Saturday, I dusted off our bikes and Christine and I went for a little rip up on some trails on Quail Ridge. Felt good to pedal, but I hate breaking in my ass at the beginning of the season.

Sunday was firewood day. Tom and Rita and I went up Postil Rd for some wood. then we used the wood to cook some chicken and some potato/oinion packets that Tom and Rita brought. Delish...

We chose a dry sopt, but there were many spots still not dry. It was 26 degrees, so it felt mega-hot since it was the first really minty day of spring. I wished i had shorts.

toms and i both wished we had shorts. so muc, in fact, we sat in this snow to cool off. our asses got wet.

the repercussions of sitting in the snow. and the best way to dry off. it didn't take long in the heat.

on the way down, we went up. tried to get into bullman lake, but there was still too much snow for a stock truck full of firewood.

it was sweet. and we'll do it again next weekend. stay tuned....
