Fly fishers spend a lot of time trying to achieve the perfect presentation—the right dead drift or swing or retrieve. But there are times when an ugly presentation is actually more “natural” and will catch more fish. A good example is when you’re fishing at the base of a dam or a waterfall. One of my favorite tactics for this angling situation requires virtually no casting or retrieving skill. Tie on a bright streamer—a Gray Ghost or a Mickey Finn, for instance—and lob it right into the heaviest whitewater at the base of the dam or waterfall. If the dam has a slanted base, you can even cast up onto the dam itself and let the fly slide down into the whitewater.
CP 119 had another interesting surprise on it, QGRY 6908. Originally built as CN 5198 (SD40), it saw life on GCFX, the Wisconsin Central and QGRY, similarly to 6920 and many of the other gray ghosts currently on the QGRY
1958/1959 race car was displayed inside the Indianapolis Airport.

Ft.De Soto - Memorial Day Weekend, Sunday, May 2008.
I don't know what his deal his, but Apollo just won't stay all the way in the back seat. I was too tired to fight him on the way back and just let him come over. He wasn't as slobbery and panty, breathing all down my neck, etc etc. as he was on the way up so I wasn't as annoyed and let him put his head over the "invisible line".
This Virginia Civil War Trails historical marker is in front of John Marshall Public Library at 6209 Rose Hill Drive Alexandria, Virginia in Fairfax County. It reads:
"On September 28, 1863, Confederate Major John S. Mosby raided the house that stood nearby on the bluff at the end of May Boulevard. The day before, Mosby and eight of his men road from Fauquier County toward Alexandria, where Mosby planned to capture Francis H. Pierpont, the provisional governor of the Restored Government of Virginia.
Mosby expected to find Pierpont at the City Hotel, known today as Gadsby's Tavern, but was disappointed to learn that Pierpont had gone to Washington City. Mosby and his men burned a railroad bridge within sight of Forts Ellsworth and Lyon, then rode along Telegraph Road to the Rose Hill Plantation to surprise the governor’s aide, Col. Daniel F. Dulany. One of Mosby's Rangers, French Dulany, was Col. Dulany's son.
Anne S. Frobel, a Rose Hill neighbor, wrote in her diary that a “party of Mosby’s boys came very unexpectedly to Rose Hill, and took off Col. Dulaney. One of them was his own son. …This boy’s first greeting to his father when he rushed into the room where his father was in bed [was] ... ‘How do Pa—I’m very glad to see you,’ and the father’s answer sitting up in bed, with proper dignity, ‘Well, sir, I’m d-sorry to see you.’ But they took him down to Richmond nevertheless.”
Dulany was imprisoned, exchanged, and survived the war. His son, however, was mortally wounded in 1864. The house burned in 1895."
(top right quote)
“The Colonel sarcastically remarked to his son that he had an old pair of shoes he had better take, as he reckoned they were darned scarce in the Confederacy, whereupon the son holding up his leg which was encased in a fine pair of cavalry boots just captured from a sutler, asked the old man that he thought of that.” — Maj. John S. Mosby, October 1, 1863

During the Civil War, the town was near the scene of battles and skirmishes during which the churches and schools were used as hospitals, frequently occupied by Federal troops, Warrenton was the object of raids by Colonel John S. Mosby, known as the "Gray Ghost," who later made his home there and practiced law in the California Building across Court Street. A monument to Mosby stands beside the Old Courthouse. He is buried in the Warrenton cemetery.

Stopped at Washington Court House on the way back from the OOS outing at The Wilds in Cumberland, OH. No Snowy Owl but I did have this harrier flying behind the Home Depot. No owl sightings today from reports of those that were there as of 3:30 PM.

This was all I could see of this Gray Ghost out in a field of tall grasses when I was alerted by Jerry am Ende. Perhaps he was just resting or even better, waiting for me! *grin*

A study of motion, watching my dog keep his pace well into his 12th year of life is inspiring, such a fantastic breed and amazing friend. I know he won't be here with us for long, but each day is a wonder, and so grateful for this amazing friendship.

My wife's family was visiting from out of state. We decided to visit Southport, NC on Saturday. Photo taken from the shore of the Cape Fear River in Southport. Near the end of our visit, a Brunswick County Sheriff boat accompanied a tow boat towing a sailboat.

NORTHERN HARRIER - GRAY GHOST --01243945_
I waited all afternoon for this guy to show up, so of course the only sighting is as I am driving out of the park. Luckily no one was behind me, and I squeezed off a few shots from the car as he flew away from me.
Abstract expressionism? Naw, it's just Fred Radtke at work, or so I assume. The Gray Ghost strikes again -- only that second layer isn't gray? He must have gotten a deal on some pink paint.

There were little crabs all over on the beach up to 1" big. It was quite the hit for a few minutes!

I'm not sure whether this is a Banksy piece that was covered up by the Gray Ghost (a vigilante graffiti remover) or something else entirely, but that's the closest I can come up with. It's on the side of a building right across the street from The Big Top on Clio St.
