We are visiting VEE's Mom in Tri-Citis on nour ay back home. Leaving Lowell this nmorning was difficult to do The 34 degree outside temperature made it a bit easier..

We made sure there were still fish in the rivers for the locals on Sunday after everyone else departed.

Z, you hit the nail right on the head. It was a great week (or more for some of us), with good friends from all over the country. The fishing was, admitedly, more difficult than in years past, but then it is fishing, not catching.

It was great to see so many old friends and all the new faces show up at Lowell. Women's Fishing day was a hoot according to VEE, but I'll let her tell the story.

Anyone with photos of fish, friends, fires or tiers, I'd appreciate seeing them for inclusion in a wrap up article for FAOL. I will give photo credit.

We should be home on Tuesday afternoon.
