BilletHead Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Well I finally got some of this worked up. We will see fishing, food and drink, maybe a few fishes . A couple weeks worth of stuff. No itinerary on this trip just winging it here and there. Even repeated some roads. We will start with the trip out and West Fork Rock and Skalkaho Creeks. Left BilletHeadVille on a Friday Afternoon. Headed West and took a power nap just East of Denver. Back on the road through Denver in the wee dark hours of the morning. Then North over Berthoud pass at daybreak. Beautiful sunrise, first cool weather encounter around the freezing point. After going North we then headed West towards Vernal Utah. Like that town seventeen percent humidity. Picked up a six pack of local brew and then again North through the Ashley National Forest. Had Lunch at the pass. BPT sammaches. That would be Bacon,home grown cubanelle peppers and black krim tomatoes. Yummy! Continued our way North through Western Wyoming and temporarily into Idaho some. Finally landing in Wyoming. Alfred Flats campground in the Bridger Teton National Forest. Time for more food! Evening meal of wild turkey carnitas. Bevarge this evening was the one of the local brews from Vernal. Hey this was good and wish I had tried to bring some home. Sadie doing what she does best now. Getting old and really slowing down. The whole trip we had to lift her in and out of the truck and camper. Both knees blown out, walks funny and limps. Oh well those golden years.

BilletHead Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 More eating and Fishing finally! So leaving Alfred Flats campground we again headed North and then West into Idaho. We took this route to avoid Yellowstone Park. We would go through it once but did avoid it going up. Pretty neat watching the farmers in Idaho combining wheat on the large rolling hills that seem to go on forever fence less. That and the big potato fields. They give this no biggie but to us it was a treat. When we ended up in Montana a stop off in Dillon for licenses. Up to I-90 then West to highway 1 which took up through Anaconda. Through that town and on towards road 38 which turned to dirt and into the Beaverhead Deerlodge National forest. We took this road that lead us over Skalkaho pass.On the East side of the pass we paralleled the West Fork of Rock Creek. We found a road/two wheel trail down into the creek bottom. Can you call it a creek bottom on a mountain? Mrs. BilletHead walked ahead telling me when to turn the wheels to avoid large rocks and pine branches. One good think about a truck camper and 4 WD you can go so many places others cannot. Set up the camper. Donned the wet wading socks and wading boots, built rods and got into the cold water. We were greeted to some beautiful cutthroat trout. Small hoppers and stimulaters were used, All of this right outside the camper. Time for food. Grilled fat mallard, Missouri Sweet corn and more of our garden tomatoes for sides. A little shot of wine, life is good friends. Sadie being Sadie, Did you guys see this grill the duck was on? We bought this and tried it out before the trip. Just right for two. The grill grates break down to slide into the tube sides. Screw lid keeps it all together. Then the fire bowl twists up to be compact. I gave it a thumbs up for the trip., Coming up breakfast and more fishing, BilletHead tho1mas, Lancer09, JestersHK and 7 others 10 "We have met the enemy and it is us", Pogo If you compete with your fellow anglers, you become their competitor, If you help them you become their friend" Lefty Kreh " Never display your knowledge, you only share it" Lefty Kreh "Eat more bass and there will be more room for walleye to grow!"

Johnsfolly Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Finally some fishing photos. This is a fishing forum not a Travelling Foodie/Camping forum . No one on here is interested in that stuff. Oh we are? OK (getting Ness Syndrome - started an online discussion with my self) you can continue. That grill looks pretty awesome for a small portable. Where did you purchase it? Love the cutthroat and stream photos by the way. BilletHead and ness 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
