Last Day To Report

[BilletHead]

Ok here it the last day. Everyone has been pretty good about me being long winded. So when Tim picked us up at the campground he says lets go to a river to where my dad and I went in 1983. We will have to hike in if we can find a place to get into this little canyon. Got to the river and parked. I say where is the river? Oh it is hard to see from here, kind of over this enbankment. Got geared up walked a bit but still no river but you could hear it. We then descend through this little cut, slowly and sure enough there is the creek. When we make it to the bottom One way is a very small meadow in this gorge, other way it is steep sided and narrow. Tim and I are both holstered with bear spray and he says it will work on moose too. Some places are choked with low thick willows. As we trail through them he says "here bear, here bear". We start hitting pockets and plunge pools. Soon all of us were hooking up with more cuttthroat.

Time to get out of there. The climb out and up. Mrs. Billethead says "does this make my butt look big" I am smart and don't say a thing!

See what happens when you drive too close to the edge of the road?

Finally some of the local deer.

Thanks for letting us share our yearly trip to the mountains. We have already started saving for next year. We will fish some of the same places and try a few new ones. We have learned you need to explore and get off the road. Do this and be rewarded.

I enjoyed your reports. It's encouraging to hear there are still so many great places to go where the fish out number the tourist. Thanks.
