The Lakefront Trail in Chicago extends 18 miles from the south end in the South Shore neighborhood to the north end near the Edgewater neighborhood.  I rode from Hyde Park and he University of Chicago to Navy Pier to see the tall ships docked at the pier.  Navy Pier is about the half way point of the trail.  On the way back to Hyde Park, I stopped at Grant Park to see the Buckingham Fountain.  I also stopped at the Shedd Acquarium and Adler Planetarium.  There is too much to be seen to see everything in one day.  

Marcus (shown above) was kind enough to take the GCSU wakeboard team out for a day of riding. He is allowing us to use the boat whenever we want as long as we continue to teach his 14 year old son new tricks. Our team will be riding in our first tournament of the year in September. It is people like this that allow us to continue to wakeboard and compete nationally; since our school does not provide a boat. We have been riding with Marcus for 3 weeks now and his son has learned so much throughout that time. It is awesome to be able to go out and teach our younger generation wakeboarding. I sure do wish I started wakeboarding when I was 14!

We have done several fishing shows together over the past 2 years and they always are a success. So, I met up with Chad about 5 am at a local marina and we set out to fish Lake Oconee. At the boat ramp, we met up with 2 fellows for Oklahoma and Alaska. Paul was from Alaska and Jason...Read More

Big Cat Outdoors and The Woody Wood Fishing Show awaits the annual return to the barrels on Lake Oconee at Wallace Dam. In 2010, The Woody Wood Fishing Show got its start filming its first of many shows at the barrels on Lake Oconee. Wallace Dam has ideal conditions for Post-Spawn Catfish during the late summer months of July through September. Sit back and let me tell you about some of our experiences catching trophy catfish and how we do it. I promise to have you loading up and setting out for memories of a lifetime at the barrels at Wallace Dam.
