Mona caught and released this cute little Northern Pike. She had one that would have been in the slot size get off right by the boat. John couldn't get the net under it fast enough and it spit the hook. The second photo above is part of the elaborate solar system set up at the Lodge to produce electricity. We couldn't run the hair dryer but it worked out well.
Another shot from the kitchen table. It appears to be Miller Time... This young Loon was photographed by John from the deck by the Cabin. One night there were 8 Eagles flying around us putting on an arial show for at least 20-25 minutes.
Glen and Shirley Roulston were our hosts at Route Lake Lodge and they really made us feel welcome. We won the trip that they had donated to our fishing club and we were the last and only people visiting the Lodge the week of Labor Day. Although they were happy the season was over, they still went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed ourselves and put us on some fish. No... Mona's not washing her face here, she's getting a drink of water from a natural spring that's been providing great tasting water for years. We never would have found it on our own, but it was pointed out to us by one of Shirley's relatives as we happened to be following him when we left for home.
Most of the people that know us know that Mona likes to collect things with a Moose on them. Please note the road sign on the right. The black diagonal line on the GPS is the US/Canadian border. We have 478 miles and 8 hours and 22 minutes before we get home, (had we gone straight home).
