Move the Deer Crossing Signs

A well-meaning lady called into a talk show one morning to tell them something she was really frustrated about.  If you need a good laugh, you should take a look at this video.  It is hilarious!

Eggstremely Serious Business

While I was gone on my trip to Israel, Joanna had quite an experience while boiling some eggs in a pan on the stove.  I will let her tell the story herself...

"I had an embarrassing and hilarious event take place this afternoon that I am still laughing about... two police officers came here this afternoon and we were in the office visiting when suddenly we heard a loud bang upstairs in our house. Oh man, I forgot my hard-boiled eggs on the burner! As I raced up the stairs I heard

sizzling sounds and smelled, then saw billowing smoke!!! "There's a fire on the stove!" I yelled to my dad but as I ran into the kitchen I saw it wasn't on fire, just smoking bad. However.... an explosion had taken place... hard-boiled eggs were everywhere!!!!  Everyone had come quickly running up the stairs after me when I hollered and we all stared in amazement at the huge mess! It was even on the ceiling lol!!! Thankfully the officers politely offered not to include my egg explosion in their report! Whew! I know I will never live this one down... beats all my moms burned eggs big time! lol Needless to say... I spent several hours cleaning the floor, then the ceiling and working my way down the walls/cabinets...:) Sabre helped with the floor eating all the biggest chunks of egg... he enjoyed my explosion! What can I say? We try to keep things exciting here in the woods! ;)
Oh and at least they were free eggs! Given to us by some guests before they left, didn't mean to blow them up but who knew eggs exploded???

Goliath Has Fallen

Our nephew, Luke Krueger is pictured here with a recent brown bear kill in the Kenai Peninsula of Alaska where he lives.  He and his brother have been bear guides with their Dad Tom Krueger for years up in Alaska.  Everytime we get to see them, we hear all kinds of scary stories of their adventures hunting the grizzly and brown bears.  I don't think I need that kind of adrenalin rush, but I guess it's a man thing.

Luke killed the bear with a single shot of his arrow.  Imagine that.  My brother asked if he used one of those Rambo arrows that has a bomb on the head of it.  No, he is just an experienced hunter and knows where to shoot.  Luke has a job of protecting men who work on highlines for the electrical company, to protect them from bear attacks.  I think they found the right man for the job.

Fall Catches

                                                     
                                                    
Fall is a great time, second only to spring in getting in some good fishing.  It's when the spring fishermen decide to come back for a second time knowing the feeding area has changed for the walleye and they know just where to find them.  Plus you don't have to worry about bugs like you sometimes have to in June.  It's a very pleasant time to be out on the lakes and rivers.

The top three pictures are the Allick family who camp here for almost two weeks each August.  They never have trouble getting their limits.  The last picture is Steve Hummel holding a handsome Lake Trout. 

It's been a very good season all around and so enjoyable visiting with our guests.  Now as things slow down here at camp, we press into high gear to get some major projects done before next year.  I almost look forward to snow season when we give ourselves permission to relax a bit.  Yeah!

This is Earl Gillis from Thunder Bay, Ontario. He and his lovely wife Susie started coming this year to our camp and are quite the fishermen. Earl caught this 42 inch, 40 pound Lake Trout right here on Indian Lake. It is the biggest Lake Trout I have ever seen.   He said it might be an older one, but it was very healthy. Earl released it to let it live another day.

Picture Perfect Pike

-The Jack and Renee Anderson family and Steve and Marie Mickelson recently stayed at camp and really hit upon some good Northern Pike fishing in a nearby lake.  Steve has come to this camp since it began and to the area well before that.  So, he is pretty familiar with the lakes in the area and all the best fishing spots.  However, this time it was Marie, his wife who outshined them all.  She caught both the Pike she is holding and the one Steve is holding as well.  Who says women can't catch fish, eh?

New Sign In

This spring we finished putting together a new sign to replace the old one just a mile up the 325 road from Hwy 599.  We realized the timing was right because the old one was rotting away and fell apart as we took it down.  We know from our first experience driving down the 325 road to Agimac River Outfitters, that it is very comforting to know you are on the right road since it seems to be a fur piece to the camp.
