Troutberculosis :( I'm Hooked!

 What a great thing to do on a beautiful November day
 The DNR stopped stocking back in the end of October

 But there is still a few in the stream.
 Neither Mart or I was too well prepared for this outing.  I had just one little panther martin and Mart had just a few odds an ends.  His gear was in old slim.  So, he had to roll a few rocks to find a fat crawler.  

 Mart had teased one and it got his bait.
 While I was lucky enough to hook a second rainbow.
As the shadows grow longer and daylight savings time kicks in it's important to do as the Doctor orders when you get a bad case of Troutberculosis.

Magic Triangle Run

 Saturday AM Susie and I ran over to Platteville WI so she could do a book signing at the Driftless Mkt.  While Susie worked I went over to visit brother Steve, Debbie and Loren and have a cup of Joe.
Then we worked our way down river traveling cross country to Galena IL the check out main street shops like the Greatful Gourmet and Outside the Lines.  Stopping briefly at an antique shop in Cuba city WI. 



 We sat along the levee  across from Grant park on a beautiful 72* Saturday
We continued South out Black Jack road just across the river form our home in Bellevue.  We caught Jimmy and Sweet Pea at home and sat in the pine needles in the sunshine enjoying cold beer, sweet apples and fresh Wisconsin cheese curds



We continued our trip South crossing the Mississippi river at the Savanah /Sabula bridge back North to the Green Island bottoms and cross country on the gravels back home.  
Just  what you need to clear the mind.

 We sat along main street for a bit and listened to our friend Scott.  And more coffee
