Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

My mind keeps playing the words sung by children sometime in the past -“There’s a song in the air, there’s a star in the sky, there’s a mother’s deep prayer, and a baby’s low cry.” I am sobered in the thought that we are in a time surrounded with discontentment, dissension, and discord and what a year we could look forward to if we could remember the rest of the song – “The manger of Bethlehem cradles a King.” And as we celebrate Christmas, honor the King Eternal in our hearts and homes. Merry Christmas to all and to all a year of peace.

Wishing all a blessed and Merry Christmas and a year of peace.

Current Fishing and Weather Conditions

The streams and lakes are freezing over and it is time to think ice fishing.  According to sources it will be a little longer before Lake San Cristobal is safe to venture forth on, but we see a menagerie of ice huts scattered across the canyon above the Lake City bridge off of Hwy 50 onto 149.  This is definitely ice freezing time with temperature dropping below zero some mornings. Brrrr!

It seems like we just told you the ice was finally melting – but guess what – it is winter again. The snow plows are busy, the snow banks are already piling high. and amidst the Christmas lights and decorations the snow falls and, at night, the moon adds the luster of mid-day to objects below.

Traffic on Main Street is minimal while during a storm the snow is plentiful.
