Saturday - July 12

Bob: It's 5:30 and I am fished out for the day. Went with Karl to Sunday Lake. It's only about 6 miles from Elk Lake, but you then drive back through the bush about 1/3 of a mile. Unload your canoe and drag it about 100 yards through the woods to the lake. We caught 7 pike only one of them small. Had to throw 1 big one back as we were over our limit for pike greater than 24". And we did get rained on for about 10 minutes, but it wasn't much rain. About like a Utah rain. In WV they call it a sprinkle. Helped Karl clean the fish and then headed home.

Cabin 8 has a Mormon family in it. They are Randy and Carolyn Johnson. They're from Southern Ontario, but he grew up around here. His family owned Mountain Chutes camp until the early 80's. There are people from Pennsylvania in cabin 3 beside us, but haven't met any of them yet. Herman told me they have been coming here for over 30 years. They have 15 in their group. 4 tents are set up around the cabin. Cabin 7 has some people from Wooster, Ohio area. Met them. They have been coming up since about 1998. 

Starting into the bush to Sunday Lake.

Looking back at what we just came out of as we left Sunday Lake. The road goes straight into the bush, it does NOT turn to the right as it appears.

We had just put the canoe back on the truck. Straight in front of the canoe is the path we took to the lake. Its like that clear to the lake.

The 5 pike we kept from Sunday Lake.

The pike I threw back because of being over the limit.

Bonnie:  Bob is taking a nap on the couch.  I've just finished making a pasta salad and chocolate chip cookies for tomorrow's lunch after church.  I'm anxious to get my talk over with!!
Today I went to the library.  It will cost me $10 for my card.  The librarian let me check out books today even tho' I didn't have the cash to pay them.  I'll pay them when I return the books.  More tomorrow...
