The Fishing Trip

Just thought I'd post David and Dylan's fishing trip. Dylan informs me the morning didn't start off to great. They left the house @ 4:30 am and headed out with the jeep and a borrowed trailer hooked up towing the wheeler. Well they made it as far as the intersection of Johnson Mill and Dow when the tire on the trailer blew! They were not inpressed. Needless to say - no tools or spare tire was on hand. Dylan unloaded the wheeler from the trailer and Dave drove the jeep back with the misfit trailer and Dylan on the wheeler back home. Reloaded into the Tundra and off they went! They arrived at their destination - ha ha - unloaded and headed up the lake for about 2 1/2 miles realizing that they were on the wrong lake!!!Scereny was not looking familiar! No Joke Dylan was really upset by this time - They drove back 2 1/2 miles in the 9 degree weather and reloaded and finally arrived at the right boat landing. So the first trap went into the ice at 9:00 am. Good thing they caught some fish otherwise the day would have been really bad! The good thing is not a bad catch for 4 hours of fishing :) Dylan was finally happy!

Funny! That's what I call perserverance (or maybe just plain old stubbiness, ha ha). Beautiful fish. This will be one of those family stories that go on and on. What is life without a little aggravation. Love it. Love,Patty
