Gotta love 'em!

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! 🙂

Those walking sticks look familiar, did you buy them at the rally?😉

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.

We’re sort of finishing up our late summer/fall four month western trip. We’re at Lost Dutchman State Park enjoying the 110 degree weather! There’s another Oliver here as well but we haven’t seen the owners yet. While on this trip we’ve seen Olivers at our Monument Valley campground and at our Grand Canyon south rim campground but unfortunately never were able to make contact with either one. We also met up with a fairly new Oliver owner while we were at Dead Horse Ranch State Park in Cottonwood and had a very enjoyable day with them. Not too many years ago we could be on one of our four month trips and never see another Oliver trailer. Now we see at least one on every trip. Great to see more Olivers on the road. Looking forward to meeting a bunch more in Texas in a couple of weeks. Safe travels everyone!

We were afraid of that. Too bad you didn't stay up in Prescott longer where it's been low 90s instead (but only in the afternoons). We got a first chance to meet fellow Oliver owners and so much enjoyed our day together!

Safe travels, Ken and Mary Kay, and see you at Inks Lake!

Just returned home from the Hungry Mother SP VA fiberglass rally. There were three Ollie's in attendance, too. Fellowship and Potluck dinner were great!

 

Bill, 

Great photos! The fall colors are really popping! Glad you and Debbie got to enjoy a great trip!

Agree with David’s comment!  The fall colors are something we miss in south Texas.  Mike

Bill -- I was severely distracted when you posted this, and missed it. It's nice to see where others go for fishing. This year I did manage to spend some time in WY but it was late. I will post photos eventually. Next year, I plan to spend a lot more time there, and hopefully see more of MT and visit ID for the first time. Love the fishing report!

Mike, I knew you would recognize the picture without introduction (rustic campsite 131).
