Kathy and I enjoyed a “custard” in waffle cones at the Rockford Dam on July 4th. The dam is on the Rogue River, North of Grand Rapids.

Fishing on Big Cedar Lake, June 21, 2010
Big Cedar is a spring-fed lake in Washington County, Wisconsin. We each caught one fish that evening, under a threat of storms that never arrived. We had to compete with a bunch of serious fishermen for space on the lake due to a Pike Tournament that we were not aware of. Fun!
Fly Fishing the Huron River July 3rd.
Fly Fishing for Smallmouth Bass on the Huron River at the Dexter-Huron Metropark near Dexter MI. We fished in the AM for about 4 hours and Kathy caught one Smallmouth. She made good use of our new Wading Staff (a Father's Day Gift Card purchase) when she pained her knee while negotiating some rapids. Half an hour later she was right as rain. Check out all those neat gadgets!

Huron River Kayak Hilarity June 30 2010
While checking the water level on the Huron I witnessed this hilarity. 1) Approaching Kayak 2) Oops, that was a Dam we just went over! 3) Stuck! 4) Get us out of here! 5) The portage that did not get used.

Fence Kludge - West Bend WI
West Bend Wisconsin is a beautiful city - but there are a few anomalies such
as this Fence that I saw at a nearby campground. 1) Find a well-chewed piece
of plywood, 2) add a couple of ski poles and 3) a bit of clothesline.
Congratulations! You have just fixed your fence!

Sturgeon at the Milwaukee River, June 2010
I was walking in the Riverside Nature Center in Newburg Wisconsin and
stumbled across 2 cool things. One was a trailer where they are raising
young Sturgeon. Apparently with the idea of releasing them into the
Milwaukee River at this location - eventually. Another thing was this unique
fireplace in the woods. It was big enough to hold dinner for two inside of
it. And there was a stone tower right above. Wonder what that was built for?
With all the trees the visibility from the tower would have been about 50
yards.
