 This photograph above was taken yesterday on my fight back to Las Vegas, it is Lake Mead in Nevada.

 Beautiful Farm & Lake Properties for sale ..........

 On my drive up from Minneapolis/ St Paul (Twin Cities) in Minnesota I was driving by Farm Properties like this everywhere. Word has it nothing is selling because once again the Banks don't want to finance anyone interested i purchasing these properties.

 If the Banks are not financing people to purchase properties in Northern Minnesota and they go back to the Bank creating a for-closer, what good is this for our economy?

 This photograph (above) is just one of hundreds of thousands of Lake properties in Northern Minnesota that will go back to the Bank foreclosed.

 Once again all I can say is (Shame on the Banks)!

 And this is one of the main reasons I would never use a Bank to purchase property, I would pay cash or go with owner financed!

 Here is a photograph of the view from the Lake home (above) and to think it will be going back to the bank makes me sick to my stomach!

 While I was fishing on Crosslake Minnesota last weekend this Blue Herring in the photograph (above) was doing some fishing of it's own.

 I captured this beautiful bird in flight with a Nikon D-90 with a 135 mm telephoto lens, it was quite a sight to see and for more information on Crosslake Minnesota with it's chain of over 15 different lakes connected with channels please go to this link ...............

City of Crosslake, Minnesota -- Welcome to the City of Crosslake ...

 If you look real close at the top left corner of the photo below you can see a blurry (Edina Realty) sign, there are hundreds of Real Estate signs around these chain of lakes in Crosslake Minnesota and very, very little is selling!

 This beautiful photograph above was taken yesterday on "Rush Lake" in Cross Lake Minnesota. The sunset that evening was one of the most beautiful I have ever seen in a long time.

 I had two Nikon Digital cameras with two different type lens, shot around 100 photographs of this sunset alone from many different angles because we were in a boat.

 I have many, many beautiful photos with colors of Reds, Pinks, Purples, Blues and more!

 I will be sharing them through different posts about my fishing trip to Cross Lake Minnesota.

 I am headed to Minnesota for three days to visit with family and fish. There might not be any Internet there so I am letting you in advance if anyone is looking for me.

 Here is a link with some fishing information on it........

 I will be taking many photographs and I have a back up camera for emergency, if I find any Internet you better believe I will be on it posting photos, etc.

 Wish me luck!
