Fishing Skills

We went camping in the Arizona Rim country and fished some in Black Canyon Lake. Not too much luck but some. We enjoyed our time there. We didn't hike much except for about two hours when Donny's Dog ran off. Reminder that Shotgun shooting and dogs don't mix. We had fun walking through the forest yelling for his dog though ;)

Here are a couple of pictures of Skylar and Marly showing off the two little fish that we caught. It was fun fishing and teaching Marly, Drew and Skylar a little about it. I promised them more success and more fun in Colorado. We are almost ready to go.

Hike description

So I found the national forest site to be helpful. If you are interested in finding out about the specifics of the Hike then follow this link . Otherwise just depend on Dad. It sounds like I remember except for now I'd expect to see a lot more people. I think that the most we saw when I was a kid were a couple of day fisherman and a single guy here and there. But from what I've been reading there are a lot of folks there now-a-days. It also said that it would rain most days we are there with lightning, hale and even snow possible. We went camping recently and our tents held the rain out without a problem. So if a cheapy target tent can do it I guess we'll be ok, but I wouldn't expect to be sleeping "under the stars" 100% of the time. 33 days yee hah!
