I can not take all the credit.
He took me to the “spot”, rigged my line, and baited my hook.
I caught the fish and took advantage of the photo ops. 😉
I have the best fishing guide!❤️

Summer has been brief! Our outdoor adventures came to an abrupt halt. Long story short, Tony was diagnosed with Lyme disease. He is about to finish up his 20 day regiment of antibiotic. He feels so much better! The high fever is gone, and the joint pain has disappeared. Lyme disease is no joke! It is a serious risk for all outdoor enthusiasts.

The ill effects of Cabin Fever is just as serious for Tony! He self-prescribed a weekend adventure and took to the New River Trail for a weekend of bike packing.

Foraging Chanterelle Mushrooms 😋
We spent the evening walking in the woods. Our objective...to find chanterelle mushrooms. And that we did! They are delicious! Very different than a morel, but just as delightful. The first five pics are chanterelle’s. The others are whimsical photos of amazing fungi. Fungi is very photogenic!!

We had peaceful float on Laurel Bed Lake. No catch to speak of, but the scenery and solitude made up for the lack of fish.

When I'm in the woods I frequently realize that I concentrate more on my trek or ride (getting from point A to Point B), that I don't appreciate the beauty all around me. That is why I am excited to attend a Forest Therapy Program. Forest Therapy is using your senses to reconnect and immerse yourself in nature, calming the mind and relaxing the body. The result - better health, wellness, and healing. ❤️

What a wonderful addition to our town! Truss Bridge Park is a great place to launch a canoe or kayak. While escaping the heat of Summer, we spent the day fishing and floating Reed Creek.

Tony and I recently ventured just outside of Wythe County and spent the day at scenic Gatewood Reservior. This 162 acre mountain lake can easily be navigated by canoe or kayak. Only electric motors are allowed on this lake.
The landscape is outstanding, surrounded by wilderness. And the fishing...bluegill, bass, crappie, and catfish, something is always biting! We caught some nice size yellow perch!
Stay tuned for more details on Gatewood Reservior, it will be the topic of my next blog.

ATTENTION MEN!!! If you’re looking to surprise your significant other on her special day, but it’s important that you also enjoy the day, I highly recommend Iron Heart Winery. Bring your fishing pole and reserve a cabana by the creek. Remember to prepurchase one or two bottles of wine for your lady (and her friends), and it’s a win, win situation. She will love you for it!! And the staff at Iron Heart Winery is easily available to take care of all your needs.
