A lot has changed here on the shores/lake of upper red lake.
Mother nature gave us a wake up call yesterday with high winds . I can only imagine what a mess it may be around the houses this morning. Jonny boy spent a big chunk of last night dragging buddy hillmans road trying to get rid of drift letting the wind carry it away. There road has not been kind to my radiators this year taking out both 454 chevs. We also had to replace blue thunders.
We have had guests all week with some success. I did get to spend a little time with some. The new crew of Mike and his buddies were such nice guys. I did get to spend a 1/2 hour or so playing some dice with them there last nighty. They had some fish to take home and also ate a few.
Tim ,Dan Pete and possibly Mike were here the 4rth year in a row. They also ate some fish with the first night be there best fishing. They ask about the old guy? Our friend Ole. They had met him 4 years ago and got a kick out of visiting with him that year hering about his life in alaska
Old minnesota had Steve and jerry also repeat customers. They drew the short straw. Even having the house on a fresh spot did not help. They did have better action the second night with the rattle wheels but had a hard time getting them. Again super nice son and dad. They have stayed with us before and even though the fishing could of been better they plan on coming back next year.
Florida had Jason and his Gal I did not get to visit them . Ii think they got 7 the first night. plus a few more there second night.
Les and Rita checked into montana. They also have stayed with us before. They did a alaska road trip driving over 10,000 miles. Rita teased me with a jarred can of smoked salmon. They had there 2 overs and one just under 17 .

We also had Jordan roll in. He had stayed with us many years ago. It was great seeing him. They were a hand full with the crew of 4 kids and 4 adults plus 2 pit bulls. I was not comfortable with the dogs so my visiting was limited.
The sky is kicking over so its time to get moving. Jake is also here helping. Today will be busy as we reset all the house’s for the weekend after we dig everyone out.
Last night we also had a full house with Glen and his girl coming for one night. Plus Dominic here his second night We also had a couple I’ve never met staying one night Casey and Matt.
