That Ragnar that starts in Blaine looks like a fun one. I just doubt I could pull together a team to do it, especially with the timing (a month before Hood to Coast). The logistics of getting vans and all that together is stressful. I may still try though.
That’s the one I’ve been working at
Lots of fun

Two weekends plus a few days...

We road tripped down the Oregon/California coast visiting old friends along the way. A rare, self imposed "No Fishing Allowed" on this trip! A bit of a change for me but it was a good move, and my wife and I really enjoyed it for a change of pace!

North Jetty Columbia River/Cape Disappointment Fog and drizzle;

The beautiful Mendocino coastline after the fog burned off;

The reservoirs down there are getting pretty low and conserving water down there is the word...
We booked it back home on I-5 in 100 degree heat through some heavy, eye watering wildfire smoke in northern CA and southern OR.

This is Lake (pond?) Shasta (please excuse the graffiti, we took the photo at freeway speed) ;

It was a fun trip but I'm happy to be home close to my gear and ready for some Fall fishing.

Stuck around home for a change and did not go fishing. Being retired, I don’t have to fight the holiday crowds. Finished some projects around the house, including the new flagpole installation. Starting to prepare for a five day float on the lower Deschutes next week with my brother-in-law. Between a fire on the lower river and COVID, we have missed the last three years. Really looking forward to it!

Nice Evan! I also see some good looking smoked salmon on the table. Gathering like that are what it’s all about!

Not smoked actually, but it does look it! It's marinated in a sauce I whipped up then broiled for a couple minutes.

Unlike Evan, I got blanked on my carp expedition, but I did get to put in some miles in beautiful country
