Stretch that 3-day weekend into a 4-day vacation

It’s the day after a three-day weekend, so that means it’s a great day to go fishing. The lakes, rivers and streams should be cleared out by now, so get out there. Listen to today’s show for more reasons to spend some of that vacation time soon, rather than later.

Three-day weekends are rare … don’t waste this one

Happy Memorial Day to you. I hope you have a chance to get out and enjoy it, but even more, I hope you have plenty of great people to remember today. Listen to today’s show to find out who I’m thinking of and how I’m celebrating this great man’s memory.

What do you get a 7-year-old who wants everything?

A bow would be a good present for my youngest son on his birthday today, or possibly a BB-gun. Unfortunately, his brother’s about to outgrow a bow that Logan could use, so that’s out, and there’s no way on Earth I’d trust that kid with a BB-gun. I looked back on Logan’s first seven years while I was trying to come up with a good birthday present, and I’ll tell you about it on today’s show.

Wildfires make for incredible sunsets

I didn’t catch a good image of the solar eclipse Sunday night, but I did get a nice shot of the incredible sunset. There are bound to be several more like this as the wildfire season continues.

Wildfires obviously cause a lot of damage, and they can be scary if they come close to where you’re camping — even more if they’re burning near your house.But they do have some positive effects.

One of those benefits is the sunsets they create. Listen to today’s show for more about what wildfires do for us.

The ability to get lost may be genetic

You can learn how to get lost in the woods, but to truly excel at it, I think you have to have a natural inclination for it. I’m lucky to have been born with the gene for getting lost, and also to have a father who shows me new and inventive ways to do it every time we venture into the woods. Listen to today’s show for some tips on improving your ability to get lost.
