Last day on our lake today , not as hot as tuesday which was record high of 90+ deg. Had a good summer , latest start that I can remember. It did snow here twice in May, didn't get the boat wet till 1st week of June!! Planning a trip to Arizona next month to finish off the season should have good weather I hope. Some pics from this summer. L to R , Bear lake Utah/Idaho, " private lake " Montana, Echo lake Montana , Navajo lake Colorado. One more trip ....

First Fire
Well another sign that the season is winding down- tonight is the yearly ritual that I call First Fire. For you southern guys it involves filling the wood stove full of Indiana hard wood, lighting it on fire, then sitting around drinking brandied apple cider. The stove will burn for 12 hours and there's nothing like going for a ski ride then coming home to a warm fire! Lows in the upper 30s this weekend will probably mean drysuit next week. I'm glad the boat fits in the garage this year!

Michigan weather
Pulled the outback last weekend, getting the boat out is easy, just put it on the trailer. the dock and hoist require me to get wet. So It needs to come out before it is tooooooo cold ! Once School starts for the kids, it is pretty hectic with school and soccer and dance for the girls. I barely have time to mow the grass. So usually mid Sept is the last horrah for us

Going out tomorrow for the last time. Weather should be a balmy 75deg. We've had the boat about a month and have to put her away. It will be a sad day.

Kaneboats - thanks we were fortunate to have the conditions and low boat traffic.
Deerfield- The only thing I did was run the 17.5 pitch prop in Montana at the lower elevations. I have a dodge ram 2500 cummins quad 4 x 4 long bed / 10.5' overhead hardside camper ( old) and of course pull the boat.
Viking- Yes echo is shallow in spots , but we know where they are and it is supprisingly deep in spots too but I can't remember the actual depth right now. It also was the warmest lake the whole trip. The weather had just warmed up and the lakes hadn't had a chance to warm up . I used my dry suit on Swan and Flathead !!

Ours came out last weekend - had one of the best runs ever 32 off @ 34mph - rocked it.. Then out and winterized. Plan is to clean today and store... Had our first frost this morning - but sunny now and heading to mid 50s. Definitely wet-suitable - but no boats available.
If you believe something to be true, it will be - in it's consequences.
