A little father son time........

[j williams]

Took my boy out today for a little R&R. We went out to a local creek and made a fire, ate lunch, and just goofed off.

He had fun, as did I. I like to get out for a bit just him and me. Heres some pics.....

The little man

A little knife Pron. This combo works really well for me. Those 12in trams are amazing!

Used the MSR stowaway pot to make alittle canadian bacon, My son said he wished we had a machine that just spit out bacon. Me too son, me too.

The tram is a versitale piece of kit. Pulls double duty as a spatula:thumbup:

Sporks rule!!!!! Especially Titanium ones

It was a sweet time. 80 degrees, no humidity, all in all a great day.

Cool pics. Looks like a fun spot. Did your son help you with the fire?

 

[baldtaco-II]

Bacon, my ultimate luxury food in the sticks.

 

[j williams]

Yeah, he found all the wood and helped with the construction....

Bacon Rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like you had a great day with your son. He looks to be about the same age as my granddaughter (damn, I`m old ) If you need to use that Tram for a spatula, you need a big belly Nessmuk.
Enjoy your time with your son, they grow up way too fast.

cool pictures. is there any fish in the creek of any size?

 

[j williams]

I do need one of them nessies.

Yeah feels like he was just a baby last week..... Hes gettin to be quite a little man. I love spending time with him. Fortunatly I get to be home alot b/c of my job....

 

[j williams]

Richard-- that depends. When the water is up there are, but its pretty low right now. I seen few small ones, and alot of crayfish, but nothing big enough to bother with. I have pulled some huge snappers out of there though. Its wonderfull when the waters up. Its very clear and cold.

[j williams]

Yeah, how would you like to be under that bluff when it broke off

Thanks for the compliments guys. I know I like to see pics of people out hangin while im not, so I figured Id share.:thumbup:

 

[Stormstaff]

I'm jealous. Fine looking lad and wonderful scenery!

I need to find some areas by me that I can take my 7yr old son and play with fire.

Most of the trails and suck we hike or geocache on are ran by the IDNR (Illinois Dept of Natural Resources I think) and last I knew, fires were prohibited.

I'll have to look into trying to find some areas close to home I guess.
