Great catch......

Jacob of Swanville MN is smiling from ear to ear after landing this nice 33.5" northern Pike today, needless to say he and his dad are back in the boat fishing for more.

hungry bear

2 nights ago Ellen picked up after a bird feeder mess, assuming it was a bear that came along to snack on the seed, it even broke the weld to the bird feeder pole.

Last night I captured photos of the bear as it returned for another round of snacks. The pictures are not great as the lighting was not bright enough without me using flash.
One of our seasonals is a welder and happen to have his equiptment here so he was able to weld the bird feeder pole back together.

For those of you who got to meet Karl or have golfed on the 9 hole course just down the road from us at Evergreen Lodge.

Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.
