Georgetown Lake

Yeah, so I have become obsessed with fishing. Here I am Ice and Fly fishing at the same time. The Kokanee salmon are spawning this time of year right along this bank. It's only 6" deep and you can see hundreds of salmon fighting and feeding. Once they are done, they all die. Unfortunately for us, we arived a little late in the season and the were not very good to eat. Although 2.5 weeks prior, we caught 30 and they were delicious.

Hogback Homestead - a cabin in the middle of nowhere

So, the next few posts are dedicated to my favorite US state and the adventures it has to offer any day of the week (and to my good friend Cassandra).

So a few weeks ago we discovered that the National Forest Service offers cabins for rent for $60 a nite! The first cabin we stayed at was called the Hogback Homestead - a cabin in the middle of nowhere. There is no electricity, no cell service, and no running water, and no civilization (though there is a hand well pump outside, it is not functional in the winter). You will be completely disconected from society, and at the same time never be bored at all.




Although the cabin does not have electricity, it does have something unique that I had never seen in a house before. The entire house has natural has lighting. The lights run off natural gas along with the stove. It's so cool!

Considerate Thieves...

are thieves that steal your wallet, take all of the money, and then mail it back to you.

They could also take your wallet, take your money, and then drop it on the floor so the cleaning lady will find it and give it back to you. Yes, thieves can be very considerate indeed!

Define: Blog

Dear weather,

Clouds are meant for the sky, not for a 7 story building.

The soil on the slopes of Lake Seneca have too high a mineral content for those spicy Gewurztraminer apples.

Oh, and I wish my friend Cassandra June Valent a very happy 29th birthday.
