Christa, the boys and I headed out early this morning to spend some quality time on the Verde. Great day up there, about 60 when we got there and high 80's when we left. The three of them had fishing on their minds, and each caught a decent catfish. Of course I had rocks in my head the whole time ;D

Here's a few pics

The boys hamming it up

A view down stream. Water is running a bit muddy (muddier than usual I should say) from monsoon runoff.

Jesse reeling in his fish

Rob and me havin' lunch

Too big to pack out

A visit from this old feller

And a shot as we left

We really had a blast!

Got back in time to clean up the finds and snap some shots

Mini tailgate shot.

Biggest and coolest find of the day

backside

This one needs to meet the slab saw.. and soon!

The rest.. sun was low so there's a lotta glare in these pics

Thought this was kinda neat

Tired, sore and sun burnt.. yeah it was a good day! ;D

Thanks for coming along!

I Wanna Rock!!!
