I'm heading up to Ely tomorrow morning. I'll be staying somewhere at the Fall Lake Campground for the rest of the week and doing day trips and some fishing. Look for an old white Chevy pickup with a Northwind on the top and stop in if you are in the area.

It was good, thanks for asking Ben. I stayed for the week at the Fall Lake Campground. It's one of my faforite places to camp. I've always had really great luck meeting interesting people there and this time was no exception. I stopped to talk with a gentleman down the road a piece to admire his new Grey Duck canoe and learned that he was a beekepper from Missouri and we had a nice talk about his new canoe. The next day I accompanied him, his wife, and their dog on a nice day trip out of Lake one. The next day I was preparing to go fishing in Fall Lake and the gentleman at the campsite across from me told me about the trout fishing in Tofte Lake so I changed plans and went there. The fishing was pretty slow but as I was dragging my fly on the way back to the landing I caught a nice rainbow. It was stuffed with chopped onions, lemon wedges, butter and some Italian spices and wrapped in aluminum foil and grilled over some coals. Along with a bit of Sauvigon Blanc it was better than any $40 meal I could have gotten at a restaurant in Ely.

Never caught a fish already prepared to just be cooked like that before. Sounds very tasty!

That's pretty funny Ben. I guess my post made it sound like the fish came with all of tht stuff. Sadly not, but it was real tasty.
