Now that this chore is done and restocking at Walmart is done the regularly scheduled activity of fishing at a higher altitude is to be resumed.

@topgun2 how are you doing with the wildfire situation up there?

Took Ollie on a local camping trip to Bandit's Roost ACE NC  for a test camping trip with the new tow vehicle. The rig is working great! 🙂

We were given those walking sticks by some very nice folks at the first Ollie rally at Guntersville SP AL! Like the sticks so much going to use golf club whipping (thin black nylon string) wrapping the bottom of each stick to keep the tips in good condition.

As usual (19th year in a row), Twist spent two months in the western states enjoying the scenery while I enjoyed the fishing.  This year I basically did a repeat of the past few years by starting the fishing west of Buffalo, Wyoming and exiting via Dubois, Wyoming.  Stops (in towns) on the way included Ten Sleep, Worland, Meeteetse, Cody, Cooke City, Moran Junction, and Dubois.  Rivers and Creeks included Ten Sleep Creek, Wood River, Greybull River, North Fork of Shoshone River, Elk Creek, Clear Creek, Clark's Fork of the Yellowstone, Beartooth Creek, Hoodoo Creek, Dead Indian Creek, Cantrell Creek, Gros Ventre River, Fish Creek, Torrey Creek, Horse Creek, Frontier Creek, etc.

Trout landed ranged from 8 inches to 18 inches and were brooks, rainbows, brown, cut-bows and cut throat.

Early in the trip at about 5:20am the Ollie started rocking!  Checking to make sure I was alone I peeked outside thinking I might see a grizzly bear.  Yes, the fur was black but it was only a couple of cows scratching their faces on the bumper.  

Here are a few pics from the trip.

Bill, I always look forward to your end-of-fishing-trip wrap up.  Great pics and it sounds like the fishing was great!  Mike
