What was once a spark of an idea is now a reality...
I teased my nephew Mattie with a, "What would you think about going up for opener this year?" about a week ago. Of course, Mattie just blurted-out, "LET'S DO IT!!!" So, we considered being first in camp (Is ice out yet? Is it still snowing on the lake?) and decided to look toward Week 2 of the season.

A quick phone call to Brian at Alwaki Lodge and BAM...we'll be in camp from Friday 5/24 - Tuesday 5/28. Just a quickie 4-dayer, but a good little adventure to get ready for the big trip at the end of July...
66 days and counting!!! HA HA!!!
