Posted May 30, 2018 To paraphrase with a beverage in my hand. I'm sitting on the deck of my house watching the clouds roll away. Where's your favorite place to think about life and all the joys it contains? 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 30, 2018 My favorite place would be a lake. I try to go once in a while. It doesn't have to be huge lake, but just walking for a bit in the shore makes my mind relax and enjoy the good things of life. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 30, 2018 Same lines: on the deck, whiskey in hand (love single malt Scotch, but have been into micro-distillery American whiskeys last couple of years), a cigar. Or substitute the deck with a quiet campsite and clear skies at night. Or on a hiking trail, seeing the natural beauty out in the world. Basically, at my age, happy that the feet hit the floor in the morning, and trying to enjoy every moment. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And even better if a lady was there with you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 30, 2018 Lake Granby, was you pull around Sunset boat ramp, and you can see Rocky Mtn Ntnl Park peaks, and the back side to Indian Peaks Wilderness at the same time. You drop your tube jig and Boom #20+ Laker. It slows down, you fish Dike 3 with some swim baits, the waters so clear you see #20's chasing it, and Boom, multiple #20's. It slows down, back to A-Bay mud flats, you drop down a monster 3oz lead weight and humungous tube jig, let out a couple of hundred feet of line, and drag it real slow to kick up some mud...damn snag, back the boat up, snag gives you a head shake, STOP the BOAT! Boom personal best, 43", #45 LUNK! Nothing else matters. Mercy! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can shore fish right now with decent results too. Free fishing weekend for those that don't have a license. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 30, 2018 Standing in a river, any river really, but preferably one of those mid-sized, crystal clear rivers in the mountains of Colorado, preferably with a fly rod in my hand, but really just standing in a river (the fly rod, flies, etc., are really just excuses to stand in a river). Fish are nice, but optional. Caught a dozen or so 2# + rainbows and browns last weekend, and it was nice, but the best part was just rowing in a river. I love mountain rivers - my instructions to my family are to scatter my ashes in the headwaters of the Colorado River up in RMNP. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 31, 2018 Seems like there are quite a few people here that go to the water for peace and recreation. I have to concur. My favorite from years back when Powell actually had water in it. Stay up lake, put in at Bullfrog. Sitting on the Sunbridge in a backwater canyon. You have the whole canyon to yourselves. A little fishing, maybe some catching. Steaks and Brauts on the grill. Campfire telling stories, jokes and some tall tales. Spending the day with an adult beverage in hand. The very best thing about this? NO CELL SERVICE!!!! Gawd I miss that........ 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 31, 2018 (edited) Inside. I find peace when particular puzzles are solved. My mind is my own sanctuary. The Voces Magikai at :49 Vae Victis isn't a fucking video game. It's what Brennus said when he dropped a heavy sword against the scales of Roman gold.

Posted June 1, 2018 My happiness is no longer dependent on people, places or things. However, it took a long time and a lot of work to get that realization from my head to my heart. Don't misunderstand; it's a lot easier with certain people and places than with others. However, that doesn't negate the fact that no matter where I go, there I am. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
