Turkey hunting Lake Sutherland

Sydney and I went hunting Saturday morning after she had won a drawing to hunt on the Water district of San Diego owned Lake Sutherland. We had to meet at the gate to the Lake at 4am, we signed in, along with 4 other hunters. we climbed in a rental boat, and headed across the lake in shear darkness, We landed the boat, in one of the fingers at the North end of the lake, near the dam.
We walked our way toward the canyons, and saw some tracks in the sand near where we were set up.
 unfortunately, that is all we saw.
On our way out we saw 8 deer as we hiked to the boat, and we saw a couple hen turkeys as we drove out.  what a wonderful day, Sydney got to drive the boat, and did a great job. She even maneuvered it into the slip. BTW, boats don't have brakes!

Mothers Day at the beach

Loaded up the bike and went to the beach. It is probably the best way to get some place to park. Amber and I spent an hour or two watching our friends surf, and soaking up some sun. Amber had mentioned that she would like to come down to the beach more this summer, and it would be great if she could ride the bike.
I told her she needs to feel comfortable, and she needs to practice. So, I let her ride home, and she did great.

Sydney at work
