The Golden Path

A beautiful golden path is formed as the sun sinks into the western sky over Sucker Bay, Leech Lake. This picture was taken on July 18, 2011.

Autumnal Equinox

This morning at 4:05 a.m. CDT the Autumnal equinox arrived at Leech Lake. Unfortunately I was not there to greet it. I was in San Jose, California where the high temperature today was 91 degrees; hardly Fall weather.

I hope to be in northern Minnesota in early- to mid-October for my next visit to Leech Lake. I have to return to winterize the house and cabin, to pull the boat out of the water, and to clear the leaves off the lawns. It's a lot of work and it doesn't happen by itself.

I will definitely report from Leech Lake on fishing conditions, weather and other activities once there. Until then...
