Time for fishing

WILLIAMS — We visited White Horse Lake and found that it filled quite well from our fair winter weather. It was restocked last month with trout.

Camping space directly around the lakes are fee-based camping spaces, but they do have free day use areas. Along the road to White Horse there are free camping areas laid out.

The trails to Bill Williams Mountain are currently open. The road to Buckskinner and to the Santa Fe Dam are also open.

It seems that all is in order for a good camping, fishing and hiking season in Williams. Some are already taking advantage of the opportunities as space are filling up.

Camping allowed downtown

WILLIAMS—The City Council has been trying to destroy the Kiwanis Swap Meet for the last few years. The swap meet is a traditional affair that occurs over the summer and pays for Kiwanis events such as the holiday dinner every year and scholarships.

The latest attempt is to not allow “camping” at the swap meet. The swap meet is set up clear on the west end of town out of view of the public.

Apparently the Californians in the Chamber did not like the Freedom is Not Free mural downtown.

Fortunately, camping is allowed downtown for the Northern Arizona barbeque weekend.
