Around Lake San Cristobal

When I have some free time between fishing trips, I often hop on the bike and ride around Lake San Cristobal and take in the views.

The Most Incredible Sunset I Have Ever Seen

When I can pry myself off the river for an evening, I escape the shadows of the mountains to find a place to sit and wait for the sunset.  On this June night, I was treated to a spectacular show.
