The weather has been wonderful and the lake very quiet.  I lot of wild life around, berries still plentyful and happy guests.  We are truelly blessed!

Most would think July fishing to be slow, we did pretty good the last few days.  Several walleye, a few crappiies, lots of perch and plenty of pike. 

I have been a raspberry pickin maniac lately!  They are thick up here and I'm getting some pretty big ones, there are so many you can be choosy.  I know all the good spots to go to so come on up while the pickens good.  They are in the prime now, yesterday I picked 4 pounds and my dogs got tummy aches helping

Two days in a row I have gone for a long ride, getting ready for bear season and speaking of bears I saw a nice big one on the second trip out.  I visited Lost, Lower, Farley, Wilderness and Big Winnie Lakes on my ride.  It was so beautiful out there and so secluded, in 40 miles we only saw one other person.

Yes it's official we actually have baby loons on the north end of Dixon.  It's been a long time since we have had baby loons up here.  I took the kayak out and got some shots with out getting to close, so my pictures aren't great but I clearly saw 4 loons.
