I got a little outdoors time in lately
Last weekend my friend Tim and I went up to the mountains for the weekend. We stayed up at the Grass Valley Sportsmans Lodge, and then helped them close it up for the winter. Every year they board up and drain all the water out of the pipes, so that when the snow comes nothing will freeze or break. They still have one part members can go to during the winter, but access is only by snowmobile or extreme 4×4, so there isn’t as much demand. Maybe someday I’ll be able to join, but lucky for me my friend can bring visitors. The club is a great group of guys.
While we were up there we took our kids fishing and did a little bit of four wheeling. We made it all the way up to Faucherie Lake, but we also stopped at Sawmill Lake and Bowman lake. There was a good time had by all. It won’t be long before there will be 10 feet of snow covering all this area, so it was really the last trip of the year for me. It’s a great place, I’ve been visiting for years, and will try and visit as much as I can for the rest of my life.
I’m half way through my vacation now. I’ll head back to the boat next weekend, and help them get it ready to come out of the water at dry dock. This should be an interesting process, I’m looking forward to it. It’s been nice spending time with my daughter and mom, but I’m already ready to go back to work. Too much idle time is not real good for me, I’m a busy body.
