Jim,

Great seeing you up there, we had a killer time. Thanks for the loan of the traps. We made a killer crawdad bisque one evening. Camp ground exceeded my expectations!

My trap puller, we culled a bunch of smaller ones and still had plenty to eat.

Sorry for your loss Jim. What a great way to spend the time to reflect. Prayers for you and yours.

Glad to see the shore is back.

Had a trip in July and the beach sites were flooded in. They didn't bother to call me and let me know. I plan on going back this year to make up for that and for the fact that I had a lot of people that came with me and I didn't get enough fishing time.

Looks awesome, I want to camp there next summer.

Fishing with your dad's rod - priceless. I'm trying to do the same for my kids. It's good to see you slay the trout and crawdads...as usual.

Your Dad knows how to paint the mountain sky!
Awesome trip! I gotta get some bugs next year!
None in Lake Mary!
Cheers!

Sorry about your Dad Jim. I know how hard that is because I went through what you descrbed, 1 year ago last January. The release of pressure you must have felt when you finally got to be up at Silver Lake an pushing your PA away from shore. The views, the fresh air and the fishing, that is close to Heaven on Earth. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for an awesome post and great pics. The Mammoth area is such fun with so much to do. Looks like the fishing cooperated as well.

Memories of the good times with your dad will always be with you.
