    Seems you've had a weird summer up there so far but maybe with the cooler air coming in things will get back to normal. Are you getting ready for hunting yet?

    Headed out this week to put up a couple tree stands, trail cams...
    Cut some firewood for next few years .
    Lots of beetle kill spruce down on our trails, so work on that too.
    Maybe even some Coho fishing. :)
    Got base camp started, & atv running couple weeks ago.
    Even took a mower out for weeds,
    Flag bent down by a moose, fresh tracks all around under the flag. (* a liberal, maybe legal size ?? ) LOL

    Wish I could be with you. I'd cut the wood while you were fishing and later we could go hunting. Wow. Sounds great!

    None within 100 miles
    ......yet.....but at high fire danger!!!
    Some are huge, typically they
    let them burn , just protect structures.
