Potato Lake

A misty morning on Potato Lake
The destination for the guys' 2012 annual fall fishing trip was the Conway family cabin on Potato Lake, near Park Rapids, MN.  Normally we rent a big house or cabin/s at a resort, but this year we were lucky enough to be invited by Scott to take over the Conway cabin.   We were there for a long weekend from 9/13 - 9/16. The weather was perfect the entire weekend: warm and sunny during the day, cool at night, no bugs, and the fish were biting.  Although I didn't even wet a line, it was one of our best years for fishing as some nice walleye, smallmouth bass, and northern were caught each day.

Hanging out on the patio was a favorite past time.
 
My bedroom for the weekend, an awesome spot just off the lake.

A perfect weekend to get some reading in.

The Conway property contains many pines like this one.

The final voyage begins as the boats are heading to the access to be
trailer-ed  for the trip home.
