That angel is cool.  Is it on an old home place or and old cemetery or just out in the woods.  She's really neat.

D

The property owner also owns a former Franciscan monastery

He brought the statue from there to a picturesque spot on Blue Lake, where his family would picnic

Best regards

One of the most peaceful places you'll ever find. Not a better place to go relax and let your mind wonder only to be snapped back into reality by a grunt from a hog.
Not to mention the host is one heck of a cook and good guy.
Just stay out of the creeks. They are slick!!

In spite of high winds and a drop of 30-40 degrees in temps, the guys had a good hunt with lots of sighting... Danny Newbern was able to put it all together Sunday morning with this good lookin' rooter

I was checking out the angel when I noticed a huge white crane down by Blue Lake. When it lifted off and banked through shafts of light filtering in through the cypress I just stood in awe. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever witnessed in the wild.

I have been in a few places where you could just talk out loud to God. This was one of them. Thanks for bringing it back to mind.

Blue Lake is a favorite area for me as well. First shot at a game animal with a Bow was near the lake!

Can't wait to get back down there in April.

David, I always found a reason to hang around that area for longer than I needed to each time I passed by. Would like to see that same area during a wet spell after a lot of rain.

Peter, would love to hear how your trip goes in April as I am trying to pick another time to make the trip, possibly this year, definately hoping for a couple trips in 2013!

I always wondered what a bear rug type mount would look like with a nicely colored hog like Dan's!
