Snowmobiling in Brainerd, Minnesota

This is a picture of a sunrise over Gull Lake. We stayed at Cragun's Resort. Cragun's is about 2 hours north of the Twin Cities.


This was taken after a great lunch (the "371 Diner" in case you're ever in the area). Lots o' snow.



Dad is pointing to the Pillsbury Forest Snowmobile Trail which is 5 miles outside Brainerd, MN. The trail is a 15-mile loop through some of the most beautiful, hilly and heavily-wooded land in Minnesota.



We thought we'd get the pictures out of the way first, before we got all of our gear on.

A Fishing Lesson


If you go fishing with one of these...







And you catch one...








...dooooon't forget your gloves! I made a rookie mistake and tried to grab the Northern sans gloves. The fish moved (huh, imagine that.) and the treble hook went through my finger. While waiting for Andy to find my bolt cutters, I asked the fish nicely NOT to move, as this caused considerable pain.

A Perfect Fall Day in Minnesota



These are two of Marta's 3 remaining brothers, Chris (on left) and John. Tom Warren, who passed away last year after an accident, was surely with us in spirit.


Today (10/19/08) we were out on Lake Independence. As John tells it, this is where the Founding Fathers actually conjured-up American independence whilst drinking beer and fishing. As you can see in the video and picture below, John is the REAL fisherman in the family. It doesn't get much better than this.

I told John (below w/ 42" muskie) I was going to Photoshop my face over his but I just couldn't do it. And by "just couldn't do it" I mean I just couldn't figure out HOW to do it using Photoshop.

Sunday morning fishing


Patience...



Andy psyches himself up for fishing




This is the smaller of the 2 Northern Pike we caught.




Andy could barely lift this monster.

Rainy Saturday on Turtle Lake


It got cloudy and rained when we were out on Turtle Lake a few minutes after this picture was taken Saturday afternoon. We didn't catch any fish, either. On the bright side, it was a Saturday and we were out on a lake.
