Pequest Fish Hatchery Open House







Sometimes an expedition is nothing more than visiting a tourist spot. Today's tourist spot is the fish hatchery, opening day is approaching and they run one every year. It is a lot of fun. The part that made it an expedition was i took my parents. I believe as much as Dad loves fishing with bad wheels its kinda tough, yet Mom loves the flea markets. I needed the brownie points.


First we went to the fish hatchery for the event, lasted about an hour and a half. Then we stopped at Johnny's Hot Dog stand(the world famous Johnny's), my dad the hot dog lover has never been there. He was glad though he couldn't understand no sauerkraut and the 35 minute wait time.
And last but not least we stopped at Spruce Run to admire the view. My parents can't hike nor they ever, but they do appreciate the views in Nature. So after admiring the solo wind surfer and the clean water we packed up the the Saturn and home we went.

Parents had fun, I did my good deed and enjoyed my parents company. We never know how much time we have left to enjoy their company. No matter what we must enjoy the time and moments that we have, a walk, a hike, fishing and all other things we do be thankful. Hope Mom and Dad had as much fun as I did.
Thanks for the company.

The First Signs of Spring







After such a tough couple of weeks with snow and rain, it finally was here. The first signs of spring.
We got hit with water and wind. Flooding in town, high winds with power outages. what else could happen? I haven't had the time to post with job searching part time employment, home modifications it just never seems to end. However, today we launched.
It is not like I haven't gone on hikes or anything, but finding the time to post is the killer. To all those other blogger and posters I don't know how they do it.
Anyway took a break and paddled locally at the lake, and turtles let me know that spring is here, if only temporary.
Hopefully the spring will be prosperous and we can get some expeditions under way and better news will come our way.
