As a former high school language arts instructor, one of the units I taught in 9th grade English was Greek mythology.
One of the legends surrounded the Phoenix, a mythical bird that would live for several hundred years before it would die by setting itself on fire. However, from those ashes, a new life would then start. Symbolically, it stands for immortality and renewal, and it is often associated with tragedies in our lives. With our strongest efforts, we can take dire situations and out of those ashes, growth can come. Hopefully, humanity will be better and stronger.
It all started out as a tongue-in-cheek Christmas gift to my brother, Dave, several holidays ago.

There’s a flowage in southern Minnesota that includes two lakes in downtown Albert Lea in Freeborn County: Fountain Lake and a larger body of water to its southeast – the town’s namesake, Albert Lea Lake.
At more than 2,600 acres, Albert Lea Lake is a good-sized fishery for this area. It’s also a shallow lake, with a maximum depth of less than 6 feet. That lack of depth could be considered both good and bad.

For multi-day backcountry trips, the Elite 3800 pack bag is the optimal choice. With its 3800 cubic inch capacity, the main compartment features zippers along both sides of the pack so that the compartment can be fully exposed to access items anywhere in the bag without having to “fish around” and pull-out gear (unlike the typical top-load bags).
