LOL. Gulliver

 

You're one fart smeller Pat!

 

I have my tallents..

none seem to count at home..

but I have my talents

 

No kidding..My fishing trips are just up the road in Germfask, well we end up in Germfask, we start in Seney.

 

I feel the same way at my home!

 

Part of the reason why I excell at others

 

I have 180 by the porcupine mountains. =)

 

180??

Acres?

Porcupine Mts are pretty cool. Would like to get up there again.

 

I got enough room in the cabin to sleep 6, unless we cuddle up together, than we could sleep 12. haha.

I personally cannot stand the beds, but they are better than sleeping on the floor!

6 miles from superior, and 12 I think it is to Lake Gogebic. (sp on that one i think)

 

No kidding.. Nice area.. How come you dont head up there more often?

I was hunting the Iron River area, thats cool place as well. Seen some big bucks strutting around there. Just never seemed to be strutting where I was standing.. Go Figure.
180 acres? Pretty big chunck.

 

Good morning guys. How is Michigan today?
Beautiful down here. Have a great day.

 

Good Morning Neal.. weather, cool at night, cloudy during the day. But alot better then the Humid stuff we were dealing with. Felt a little like Tenn for the last month.

I actually set up the tent and slep out in it last night with the son. Glad the wife was a good sport, she had to crawl out of bed at 3:00 to let me know my alarm was going off.

 

Haha, that is awesome Pat.

Nice seein ya in here Neal.

I don't head up north cause it costs to much Pat.
You get up there and you spend your whole time working and getting everything back into shape, then you get about 2 hours to enjoy it, and then you have to head home.
I'm talking about a week long trip here.

With my grandfather gone over 12 years ago, nobody has been there to keep it up daily. So. It all kinda goes to hell, my grandmother just cannot keep up. She just mows the grass and enjoys what she can when she goes out there.

My buildings are starting to be in some dis-repair as well. I need to spend a whole summer up there working on it and such. Trimming tree's. We had over 86 Fruit tree's on the property at one time, there are probably 30 left, and they have not been tended too.
Wood to cut, buildings to fix, other stuff to fix. Buildings to re-adjust. Stuff to clean. Grass to mow. Equipment to fix......
On top of all of that. its just SUPER depressing for me to be there without my grandfather as well. Everyone in the family has came and taken his stuff. So half the time I'm looking for things that are not there anymore. Hell. I even have bridges to repair when I'm there as well. And with no portable welder available, (the guy passed, Vietnam vet,) I'm really screwed on the one bridge. Its barley being held up by cables now.

I'm sure you see the predicament now, as well as the main reason I don't go. That and its an 8 hour drive.

Diesel is like 3.60 up there also. haha.

 

That does suck William, and your poor Grandma having to deal with it. I know an older gentalman that can no longer take care of his property. He now has his neighbor go up and tend to all of the maintenance of the property, in trade, he gets to use it for hunting..

MIght be something you could set up William.. I dont know that it will work for you. It is just to bad that the house is left to go to the way side like that. I understand. but.. anyhow, thats to bad.

 

Oh, no, the cabin is fine. We put that in after my grandfather passed.
But the cabin is shifting around, it needs to be adjusted.

Grandma lives in town too in a nice house. Property has no power, and you pump your own water. Has been in family over 100 years.
