Now here’s something you don’t see every day. This poor deer fell through thin ice and couldn’t regain its footing to get back to shore. A helicopter pilot who happened to be filming the attempted rescue came up with a pretty ingenious idea for helping the deer. See for yourself.

I was going through some old emails the other day and found this video a good friend of mine made on one of his first visits to camp this year. It was fairly early in the season so we had the lake pretty much to ourselves. We made the most of it by cruising at speed for a little over an hour. Thankfully, he didn’t film the gas gauge chugging through the 70 gallon gas tank on my boat.

I just really, really liked this picture. I would love to mount it on my back deck (the gun that is, not the picture). Just so my neighbor could see it

At this point I’ve lost count of how many consecutive days of rain we’ve had. My best guess is at least 18. Here it is the first official few days of summer and I’m sitting in front of a roaring fire trying to burn some of the humidity out of the air. Just to stay sane, as “cabin fever” has defnitely set in, I started looking through older pictures from the days when the sun would shine (just so I could see what it was like). The picture below is a typical sunset here at the camp. This, of course, assumes there is still a sun to set!!!
