Yesterday felt like spring, I have no idea what the offical date is,,but 2/19/12 was it for me. Trees beginning to bud,,and a warmth to the air, finally...........

Who's going to be doing some camping/fishing this spring? I for one will be, going to put a new chain on my chain saw today, a spring camp is not complete without a good campfire blazing with several lawn chairs scattered around the upwind side, a coffee pot bubbling and the aroma of fresh crappie filets and hush puppies in the air, laughter among friends and telling yarns of past fishing exploits..its memories in the makings guys...you gotta grab these moments,wring all the happiness you can from them.

Ole Gus was 100% right when he said, "Its the little things that matters" I have finally realized that you don't have to have a $40,000.00 boat and $70,000.00 camper to be happy...with the right attitude, a tin boat with a baling bucket, a leaky tent, a good campfire and friends is what makes life a wonderful journey.
