Granny and I are headed for The Edison NJ Fly Fishing Show. Our three day layover in Wolfeboro, NH at Moms was a dream. We had a heavy snowstorm on Monday that dropped 17” of snow. We got in some snowy hikes and enjoyed watching the white stuff fall from Garwoods Restaurant, one of the local pubs. The days were very relaxing.
While you would expect us to be driving the van to the NJ show, we aren’t. Last winter when Granny and I were without a home and living in our new van, I stashed my 1991 Exploder at Moms in NH. This East Coast Show tour is about retrieving it and bringing it to our new home in WI. The old stick-shift SUV pulled off Marlborough last week but was running rough. Being we are loaded down with my coffee mugs and beer steins we’re crossing our fingers we make it. Not only NJ, but then to Atlanta, Nashville then finally back to WI!
We expect another busy one. Last year the Edison Show was wiped out by a Nor’easter blizzard. And obviously 2021 was wrecked with the pandemic. All I can say is, “Everyone should be anxious and ready to have this great fly fishing show back in order!”
Amazing new pics in all Shows!
