14 DEGREES

Joe and I headed up to camp to open it up for the season. Fresh snow had fallen, and temps were in the teens upon our arrival. After a partial unload of supplies, and quick inspection of camp, we headed to the well house to get water flowing to the camp. Everything went rather smoothly, and camp was officially opened.

It felt great to get back up to the Northern Tier of Pa.

POTATO CREEK

Only 20 more days until the opening day of trout season and I can't wait to go.

Potato Creek was looking goooood!!

HIKE IN THE WOODS

Joe and I took a 3 mile hike Saturday morning to search for new hunting areas. After walking about half way through a Game Commission food plot, and 1/4 mile of brush busting, we came upon this heavily wooded area. It looks very promising. We nosed around, and liked what we saw. This area will move high up on our list for both bear and deer.

LONG BEARDS

Butch W. of Port Matilda, Pa. sent me these pics taken in his back yard today. Glad to see the wildlife is looking rather healthy after the harsh winter we are having. Butch said, after these left, 20 more showed up, but no long beards.

See you opening week of Trout Butch. (nice pics)

BRINGING OUT THE BIG BOY

I set the alarm for 2:30 this morning to get a head start on the snow removal before work.

I was glad I did because, it snowed the entire time I was there. I was not looking forward to what I was facing when I got home.

What a pleasant surprise when I a arrived.

My neighbor is a heavy equipment operator, and he drove his front loader 10 miles, on state roads to plow. What a guy. He ended up clearing 6 driveways and getting rid of the piled up snow on our street.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately, there is much more snow on the way.

What a winter we are having!

GOOD NEIGHBOR

This sure did make my evening much easier.

ENOUGH ALREADY

This is my backyard. I'm running out of room to put the snow.

I keep my fire wood in the shed for our fire place. Looks like no fire this weekend
