| Pretty much anything! The smell of water, wet pine, outboard smell, sunscreen... There have been times on the water where I'll catch a whiff of muskie. No explanation for that at all, but I swear sometimes you can smell them. |

| "Smoke on the Water", days in early fall when you wake up and there is a light fog over the lake because the water is warmer than the air. All the jet skis are on trailers, fishermen pretty well have the lakes to themselves. |

Location: Brighton CO. | I was poking around in our yard this morning and I heard a distant purr and I have not heard this sound in a long time but I knew what it was I looked south in the sky and in about 10 seconds a turbo prop plane popped out from behind my neighbors house I think it was a old DC-3. From 1977 to 1990 I was a passenger on many of flights between the Twin Cities, Chicago, or Milwaukee up to Rhinelander. (and lots of times landing in every burg in Central Wisconsin on the way) Good old North Central Airlines with the outline of a Goose on it's tail. Then in the early 80's it was Republic Airlines then Northwest Orient. Then depending on what time of day it was we would stop and eat at Rhinelander Pub and Cafe or in later years "The Cookery" in Sugar Camp then home to my grandparents. Like a lifetime ago. |

Location: Ludington, MI | Honestly, living near Lake Michigan, when I get inland about 30 miles and the sky turns that barely perceptible darker shade of blue, I think of the UP and the fishing there. |

Location: Stevens Point, Wisconsin | The rustling of popple leaves in the wind. Always remind me of LOTW. I sit on my patio in the evening and when the popple trees are rustling in the wind I think of all the great memories I have from spending summers on the woods. |

Location: Brighton CO. | When I was a teenager staying with my grandparents (1970's) on the lake they had a Cuckoo Clock so I bought one in the 1980's witch I still have. After my grandparents passed on my sister got the old clock and had it for years it stopped working so a couple months ago I got on them see if they could get the thing working again. They got on the internet and looked up some things and got going again, so when I go over to there house it's another sound from the past. |

Both of these do. Sometimes, don't even need to be on the water to catch a whiff of musky. Not sure what it is or where it came from...maybe be psychosomatic...the brain playing tricks and saying "it's time to hit the water".
There's a low lying area near work that is mostly swamp when it rains. There was an eagle nest in one of large branches of a dead tree above the swamp. Came down during some severe storms this year. Kinda sad but the birds are rebuilding in the same tree but around the trunk. Every time I look it reminds me of seeing the eagles on our local lake and Eagle River while fishing.
