Well folks, It's that time of year again. Spring has sprung, the grass has riz...well sorta...at least I think that there's grass under the snow...somewhere... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Anyway, that's not the reason for this post. I've got camping and fishing on the brain after being cooped up for so long. Thought that winter would never end. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> To say that I've got "get-out-itus is a definite understatement. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />
Curiosity has gotten the better of me, so I'd like to know if any of you other Dawgs have Spring Camping / Hiking / Fishing plans? If you do, maybe you could share your plans with us other Dawgs?
Are you planning Family Car Camping, a solo trip for a month, something in between, deep sea fishing maybe??? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> Anything goes...well almost anything...remember, this IS a FAMILY type forum <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Pictures from past trips are more than welcome... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
Help me get into the groove for this year fellow Dawgs!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I am looking for a canoe so that I can hit the local lakes and do some fishing. It will mostly be to lakes that I can drive to.

I have had a couple walk-abouts this week and it did me good. I need to get my fishing lic. so I can pack the rod with me and do some fishing while I am out and about. The spring is here!

its was 30 degrees here today and even colder at night but all the snow has melted,100%.
the change of seasons is something you feel in your bones.more than just the feel of temperature changes.

well hawaii doesnt really have intense seasons like most of you but ive been planning a sea to summit on the big island. i just need to save some money to not be able to work for a week and a half to cover bills. it would be solo...right now there is too much volcano VOG to hike successfully.
0 to 13,700 sounds like a great challenge.
if anything ill fly back over to kauai and do the kalalau again and cruise with the naked hippies! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

MCJ - that's why they call it Paradise! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Most of my outdoor adventures will be centered around my pond. My son and family will be visiting us - during the week of Blade! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> - and we will spend most of the time fishing, grilling, playing pool or foosball.
Looks like I have a nice flock of turkeys hanging around, so I will probably do a little turkey hunting as well. I love the fact that I can fish and hunt and never have to leave my property!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

0-13,700 is something that sounds interesting for sure.
As to turkey hunting, I have been thinking about trying that but never see turkey unless they are out of season--I guess they make me look like a turkey too LOL.

When I do see turkeys at our place there are about 50 at a time. Lol, and of course generally out of season. I'd rather shoot a whitetail anyway.

I am also getting the fever to get out. I have been doing some short day hikes around this area. I am close enough to Yellowstone NP to do some weekend trips there. I am going to try and make it there once a season starting with this spring. Mostly it will be car camping and hiking for the spring.
