"Rin, Rin wake up!"

It was the final few days of our spring break during the last year of our grand adventure at mines, and we were out on a small sailboat we rented. In celebration and reflection of surviving our time at the Colorado School of Mines, me and my friends decided to sail along the coast of California. We enjoyed the combination of the warm sunlight and the cool ocean mist, things that we never feel back in Colorado.

    SHALLOW CRANKIN’ FALL CRAPPIE Crappie fishing; to most, bring visions of cool spring mornings with fog lingering over the surface of the lake and burning off shortly after rigging a bobber and a minnow to cast to a brush pile and wait for the Crappie to find your bait.
