Trib/Inland Day 3/7/10

Last Sunday Jessie and I got up early and out to a local trib to try our hand at some steel. The water was still a little low, and after two hours without a hook up we got in the car and headed inland...

The look of trib defeat.

Quick inland redemption.

Still snow?!

The look of inland success.

Nice one of the day.
