Another shot from where i left off in my last post

Sparking the smokehouse loaded with fresh Lake Superior Cisco in December.

Heavy hauls with this guy and my dad on one of the coldest days of the winter

A lot of these kind of commutes

My wax technicians hard at work. A very typical weekend morning here.

Headed down to the stadium for the Kamview Jackrabbit Sprints

Sleeping Giant 8km Mini Loppet with the whole family...K riding on my back.  Warm sun and beautiful fresh snow.  Winter time perfection.

So you thought this blog had dried up and all but disappeared from the interwebs. Well, you're wrong....just happens that i can't be bothered to sit still and plunk myself in front of the ole desktop to post something to the interwebs. Sure, i post some images to instagram or facebook or flickr...but they're usually a one or two shot deal and they are quick, even without owning a cell phone. I realized the other day, that this blog platform has provided a pretty fun timeline over the years, even if it's just for myself; although i know a few of you get a kick out of it as well and can't be bothered with that other media crap.  So with that in mind and the fact that it's now winter, i'm going to make an attempt to post here, if only a little more often than in the past half a year. So stop by from time to time and see what's cookin in our world of fun and adventure.  As usual...these are all photo's i've snapped.

Lake Superior, November 2014. Overhead and glassy point break.

The families shoes at rest well we played in the water at Redrock Canyon, Waterton Lakes National Park this summer.

Rogers Pass

Score

Either grown, foraged or caught.

Spent 4 months off work with my boys, getting up to all kinds of trouble, including rolling round town on this rig.  Surly Ogre, with Yepp Mini upfront and Trek Mnt Train in the back.

Because we always like a fun little project; we decided to rip out our front yard this spring and re landscape the whole thing into a raingarden.  Here we are just putting in some plants.  Being a cool wet summer, the yard flourished and should come back twice as nice next year.  Lot's of native species, berries, grasses, ferns, etc...

So yeah.  Now you're all up to speed...hahaha.

Spring work weekend down at the shack in the northwoods (clearcuts in this particular scene) of Minnesota.

Loaded up on friday & cruised down the shore in search of some waves...mostly burlyish beach break due to another odd fetch to wind direction and speed ratio. Got a few rides and took some beatings courtesy of the lake before loading back up and continuing on my way down to hunt the northwoods of Minnesota.

A beautiful November morning on the drive down the shore.

And so it goes, we wait and prepare all year to gather during the second week of November for what we call the "Holy Days". I'm sure someone might slam me for calling it that, but there is so much legacy, time, patience, reverence and effort put into our deer hunt, that calling it anything less would be inappropriate.

Just a picturesque sunset the night before opening morning.


Straight up, old fashion wool.


Frosty morning.


Park the ATV's, there are Surly Pugsley's and regular ole mtb's in camp.

Just another northwoods adventure folks
