Gone Fishin'

This morning we got up at 6:00am and went up to Frenchman Lake to see if we could
land some trout. The morning started slow with no action.  Having never fished for lake
trout before with any success, both me and my brother we slightly discouraged as we
both kinda knew we were going about it the wrong way.

Poison Oak Inevitable. :(

Sunday was equally as interesting.  We left Santa Rosa and headed south
into San Francisco.  Linda and I enjoyed a plate each of Okonomiyaki from
Izumiya.


Linda stayed in J-Town to shop while I took off for another afternoon of herping.

Flipped my first hot!!!!

Again we set out into the wilds of northern California for a bloated day
of field herping.  My goals: Rattle Snake, King Snake, Ringneck Snake
and Rubber Boa.  Three outta four ain't bad!!!

We'll start with a nice habitat shot by Kyotopunk.

The boys all together...

It's been a while since me, my dad and both of my brothers were assembled
in the same spot.  It was awesome to hang out. We attempted the hike to
Rock Lake, but up there the snow was waist deep.

Needle Rock...

...at least that is what I think it is called.  I've wanted to hike to it for a while
now, and so we did.

Big Fake Sky...

FINALLY a nice day in Reno...

SUNday earned it's name and we got some nice clear weather finally so we could go
out and wheel around and let off some steam.
