Deanna's article brought back memories of a my trip a few years, when my wife and I attended the FAOL Idaho Fish-In.

I remember the cool clear mornings with small clouds slowly moving down the valley, valley walls were too high for the clouds to get over.

I remember no matter where I went on the Selway, Locha, or Clearwater rivers; there were plenty of fishing water with structure, and nobody was there yet.

I remember sitting on the porch of our cabin in the afternoon watching a Spider Blossom, as the young spiders emerged from their egg sac's and spread a long spider gossamer thread into the wind, to carry them away. Their little spider bodies, gleamed like fine specks of fairy dust, as their gossamer thread carried them aloft. I thought of the book "Charottes Web", and felt like shouting "Goodby!" to such brave little creatures..

I remember the companionship, of other members at the Fish-In, and freindships made. ~Parnelli
