Garry2Rs Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 In seven days Buck and I will close the Arizona place, and begin our trek back to snowy Ontario. We will try to bring the warm weather with us, but from the photos I've seen this week, it might be May before I find the front stairs!!! Looking back, this Winter was quite an adventure. Things started with a "Bang" when we wrecked the Skeeter on the highway outside of Flagstaff AZ. while driving down. I hope that the "adventures" finished with the breaking and replacing of the rusty axle on the Ranger trailer last month. In between we did some fishing, took a few pictures and drank a lot of cheap beer. Here in no particular order are some of the things we saw and did on; "Our Winter Vacation, 2007/2008. " Crushed corner of Skeeter, Broken axle on Ranger... This should be straight across... This is how it looks now... PLACES WE FISH... Mittry Lake Fortuna Pond Colorado River Martinez Lake / Colorado River Ferguson Lake / Colorado River Fisher's Landing / Colorado River Buck and Some Fish We Have Met. It's nice to Winter down here in the desert... BUT, we are looking forward to getting home to the Kawarthas Garry2R's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radnine Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 (edited) Great pictures Garry! Thanks for sharing. I have just booked a cottage on Cameron Lake in July. Maybe I'll bump in to you somewhere in the Kawarthas. Jim Edited March 29, 2008 by Radnine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry2Rs Posted March 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Buck and I are always glad to see people who fish...grin. Unfortunately, Caleron Lake is shown as Figure "E" on this map... We are way up where it says "P" That doesn't mean that something couldn't be arranged, just that it won't happen by accident. Garry2rs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickingfrog Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 It seams like yesterday you were heading down for the winter. Welcome back, we've kept some ice around to remind you why you left. Safe drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2 tone z71 Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Nice thanks for sharing ,looks like your golden is enjoying itself in alot of those pics NICE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbayboy Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Yeah that certainly looks like a better way to spend the winter than my choice of holing up in the basement and praying for the snow to stop. Hopefully the skeeter survives the trip back up with less excitement then the way down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramble Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Looks like another good season in the south. Unless we get a quick thaw here, you might wanna stop and pick up a pair of snow shoes before you get home lol -Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry2Rs Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 MikeH... You're right, that was heading out from the launch at Sunrise, in the village of Buckhorn, traveling east into Lower Buckhorn Lake. T Bay... The Skeeter went to that big Bass lake in the sky. We now have an 18ft Ranger to play with. 2 Tone... Yes! Buck like everything about boats, fish and water. Ramble & Kicking Frog... I have been in contact with the Elders at Curve Lake Reservation on Chemong Lake...The rain dance will be going on for the next week, to help melt the snow. As a back-up plan, it has been Ninety degrees down here everyday for the last few weeks...I am trapping that heat under the tarp, to smuggle home. Trust me...I guarantee the ice will be gone for the opening of Crappie on the fourth Saturday in April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
