Spruce Creek Oct '07

Trip #26 to Spruce Creek and it was a great one. Always like the autumn fishing there, crisp weather, fall colors and lots of big fish coming up the stream. As usual Phil and John took real good care of us, you can see we were not short on rations! My big brown came out of the Willow Pool, he took off and ran all the way down to the riffles on the first run. Looking forward to #27 on 19 April 2008!

Boshears Airshow 2007

Melissa and I went to Augusta, GA on Sat & Sun to see the Boshears Airshow at Daniel Field. We visited with our former neighbors from Augusta and saw some great airplanes.

My highlight was a ride in a C-45 (Beechcraft). The ride consisted of a brief trip north to the lake and then back to the airport. We did a high speed, low level pass down the runway at 190 knots, broke left a came back to land.

My former neighbor from Augusta after his flight in the SNJ-5. The flight included a formation with a L-39 jet, PBY-5 Catalina, two SNJs, and the C-45 in trail (a.k.a. a loose slot)

Salmon fishing in Michigan

A late posting from my September Ludington, Michigan king salmon fishing trip with my cousin Bob Rives. Another great trip...good weather and fantastic fishing.
