Section markerI was here.

Today, we have plenty of tools, devices, and gadgets to help us determine where we are. (Maybe what we need is a gizmo to enhance our sense of where we have been and where we are going.)

In real estate, especially real estate in “out-state-type” areas, monuments placed in the land are significant in establishing ownership boundaries. In fact, nothing brings more pleasure in this business than finding a property marker. Markers come in all sizes and shapes, but typically, they are rod-shaped, i.e. a pipe, a post, a pin. And finding one can make the day.

I found this Section marker a few days ago. At that point in time I might have said to myself, “I now know where I am”.

This adds credence to the time-worn saying of “Where ever you go, there you are”.

Muskie vs. Northern Pike

Apparently, when it comes to pitting the Muskie against the Northern Pike in the natural world of survival, the Northern Pike is the better man. The DNR offers this recent report.

June moonWhew.

The Memorial Day weekend has come and gone. It was a holiday full of self-inflicted hyperactivity. The combination of work and school graduations didn’t leave much time for fishing. The last couple of days have been a less than fully complete effort to put the routine back into synch.

And, hopefully, the rainy season has ended. (Today we did see the sun.)

I have a back log of new properties to post in the next couple of days. So please stop back.
