The crack of dawn refers to the time of day I left to go fishing (finally- I seem to have a hard time rolling out of bed that early anymore). The location is a state managed lake in Chase County, Kansas that I have more than grown to love for a quick Saturday run.

Brad, I didn't stop in town this time to have ice cream, but now that you mention it, I must be missing some-kind-of-good; I'll have to work that in on the next trip. I usually head up north 135 from Wichita to get there, then when I leave, I'll run over to Matfield Green to the Hitchin' Post for one of the best burgers in the hills and a cold one to wash it down. This weekend however, I needed to get home- I had a beautiful 11 yr old celebrating her birthday with a party in the park- icing on the cake!

Life is good.
