It's a balmy 42 degrees at 8:00 a.m. The sky is overcast, there is a fog and mist hanging over the lake and there is virtually no wind. Kind of eerie.
I'm scurrying around making final preparations to leave our house at Leech Lake for potentially many months.
I've got the last load of laundry going, the food I'm giving to the Malays is all packed up and the rest of the food has been thrown out. I'm having a quick bowl of cereal, then I have to unload the dishwasher, lock up the cabin and turn on the security system.
As I look out over the lake, I'm hit with the desire of wanting to go fishing. It would be an interesting morning to be on the water. No wind. Heavy mist and fog. Water temperature dropping. I bet the walleye are feeding fast and furious this morning. But no fishing today.
Tom is going to come by in a few minutes to pick up the food I'm giving them and a bag of garbage. Elaine has an appointment in Bemidji this morning and rather than carry around the food with them, they'll put it away before we leave for town. Same for the garbage.
It's now 9:00 a.m. The cabin is locked and security system is armed. I've got the laundry done, the refrigerator is cleaned out, and the dishes are done. The only thing I've got left to do is turn off the water pump and lock the house and arm the security system. I'll do that on my way out the door.
So from Sucker Bay, so long until my next visit to Leech Lake.
