April marks the beginning of my summer season. The snow is nearly gone and the ponds will soon be ice free. The rites of spring are in full swing, some neighbors tap maple trees, the frost heaves are huge and the annual St George River canoe race, the water was high and the times fast. No I have never been in the race but my son Noah has been a few times and was again this year.
So what does a guide do for a vacation? This year it was a visit to the desert and a fishing trip on the Pacific. Argy was scheduled to attend a conference in San Diego, we flew in to Las Vegas, rented a convertible and drove through Death Valley. An amazing place to be sure and as different as anyplace could be from Maine in late winter. We continued on to San Diego through Joshua Tree National Park.
Argy and I are headed to San Diego leaving just ahead of the next snowstorm. Hopefully it misses here but at the moment is does not look that way. For the first time in my life I am looking forward to a few days in the sun and on the water.
Argy will be attending the National Art Education Association’s annual convention to receive her award and give a presentation, I will be hanging out and fishing with a guide on San Diego bay. Like many of you I found an Orvis endorsed guide on the internet. Contacted him through his website and have arranged the time on the water.
