Rinsing off after four-wheeling.

Grant's pictures: Thursday arrivals

No, I don't play..

Crayfish traps..

Supplies..

Asshole.

Ironman

I don't remember the last time someone slept on the porch..

Games in the shade.. 

Dead soldiers and their replacements.. 

Zen.

Brain restart.. 

Tippycup 

More Zen. 

TIPPYCUP! 

Beer and Jager..  ugh.. 

Shoot, I forgot to take a boat out this time.. 

BOYS WEEKEND 2010 (XX)

Saturday night storms to the South.. 

We caught a little rain out of it..

I'm going to be looking to shutter hound more night lightning..

Back to the radar base for another look during the day Saturday..

It's a long way down..

.. so you gotta watch your step!

10(word)^3

This little bugger was in the road on the way up and down the mountain.

The phantom performed very nicely..

Slow waking on Saturday.. 

A customary ride through Paul Stream.

Hennessy,

The fireworks display..

A ceremonial drink for a penguin's honorary 20th birthday

A balcony half way up the radar tower

This is where the dish dome was located.

An interconnecting system of hoists..

This was 50 broken mirrors quasi-attached to the structure they were meant for..

Our rides to the top...

Prior to finding the way to the top of the radar tower..

Sunset on the clouds..

Earlier..

First to arrive taking in the lake.

We did have rain already.. but a rainbow too...

A mix of previous years below..

From 2008:While out four-wheeling, Gregg picks the wrong spot to take a leak..

From 2009:Games on deck

BOYS WEEKEND- 1900's

Ugh, Michelob light and Natural light.. the beer of poor college students..

Time to hold off on drinking beer, huh?

MAXimum dog...

BOYS WEEKEND 2009

Get me back to Foxwold.com

Right on schedule...

It's not easy taking it so easy..

Game ON!

A few birds ate pretty well..

The Chinese fighter helmet made it back to camp..

Cool temps and the water was 70 degrees!

Out 4x4~ing..  we did a few miles of power lines..

... and found West Mountain Pond kicking with life..

BOYS WEEKEND 2008

Sunset- first night

John's eye on my camera

Here too..

Maybe this one

I took my turn

We found a way to the base!!

Saturday evening..

I can't stand the thought of bringing my bike down that driveway..

Annual sunburn contest..

Nesting loons make their way around the lake..  we wanna try loon meat..

Sunburn contest going strong..

Today's four wheeling yielded a Moose...

BOYS WEEKEND 2007

get me back to foxwold.com

get me back to photo albums page

The new dam is done and the water is as high as it's ever been..

Sunrise on the lake is just as Zen as you can get...

mmm.. hands gripped on a cup of coffee...

Just across the border, in North Stratford NH, there's over 100 miles of four wheeler trails to be found...

Stark wilderness just aching to be awakened with the 450

Back at the lake for dinner, and this kingfisher was diving in and out of the water..

As usual, the loons make their way past the dock daily..

OH glorious summer.. stretch in the sun!

Back out on the four wheeler, those are incorrectly known as Percy Peaks..

To answer the age-old question: does a bear shit in the woods?  Ayuh!

from Sugarloaf trail, outside Groveton NH.  By the way, I've never been chased by so many deerfly in all my life.  Thank God for White Mountain Insect Repellent!

Moose tracks with the toe of my boot for scale...

Buggy, buggy stream..

Some of the trails are just this smooth..  but many of them are much rougher

Back at the lake, Boys' weekend has commenced!

Before the rain arrived, we were treated to a full rainbow

And after the sun set, we treated the rest of the lake to a fireworks show...

Panoramic view from the porch

Previous years follow...

Not too much rain...

Just a brief power failure.. notice the stern light hanging from the ceiling.

Don't let the State tell you that the water's only down an inch!

Mr. Red Squirrel has become quite bold with people around..

The loon family made its regular rounds..

Simply amazing, Scott fell into the lake without smacking any shallow rocks and kept his cigarette burning...

Chris P. stunned us all by reeling in an eight inch Perch..

When the sun shines here..

... words fail me.

Just one of many poker games getting started..   Also a reference photo for Brett's surgeons..

Night-mopeding lived up to everyone's expectations..  Brett spent 6 hours in the ER, Sunday Night..

We all poured out of camp in caravan fashion already looking forward to next year.

Oh yeah..  Hummingbirds...

Did you know that the ruby throat is an optical illusion?

Feathers in the throat area trap the full spectrum of light minus the red.

Not so many came by to sit at once this year..
