TimC,

What you're looking at in those pics are views of Lake Superior .... where there are still miles of secluded stony beaches and fresh COLD water as far as the eye can see. What you don't see are the swarms of ankle-biting fish flies, black flies, no-see-ums, and mosquitos...........oh yeah...........I forgot to mention that we now have ticks........something we never had before, but the fishing is still great........even from shore. (I sold my boat because my family lost interest in boating. *note to self.......keep the boat next time....no matter what!*) I guess positives can be found no matter where a person lives.

Dutch,

Good to hear from you man! I thought the ground done swallowed you up!

Peace,
