For over 20 years myself, father, uncle and cousin have gone up to Moosehead Lake in northern Maine every spring for a long weekend fishing trip. Its a guys only trip that sometimes yields good fishing, sometimes poor fishing, but always good times, good food and more than a few adult beverages. My oldest son started going when he was 9 (he's now 15) and my youngest son (he's 6) will start making the trek in a few more years.
Anyway, we always bring a Weber Kettle with us and since I'm in the habit of always bringing my 18" WSM whenever I do normal camping I figured why not bring it along to Moosehead this year. The day I ended up smoking turned out to be a windy, rainy and nasty day but of course we didn't let that deture us.
Here you can get an idea of what the weather was like out on the water.
The fire pit even needed a windbreak. L-R my son, father, uncle, cousin.
You can just make out my green Lund through the trees on the left.
Here is the cabin we get every year. When we first started it was in tents, then graduated to popup camper and eventually to the cabin since it was easier to get fishing/drinking faster and since we bring two boats, a camper (my dad and I both have 5th wheel campers) wasnt an option. You'll also notice we put another tarp to work as a windbreak.
What's hiding behind that tarp?
Mmmmm.....ribs.
Ready to eat.
Final shot, my dad, son, myself.
