    ... three times> There's no place like home ... there's no place like home.

    HA! What a bunch of horse hockey!! I'd much prefer Wyoming or South Dakota!!! What a delightful trip! Turned out much longer than I'd anticipated, encompassed much more territory than I'd anticipated, lots more fish ... lots more food ... lots of fantastic people!!

    I caught my first cut throat and cut bow trouts!! AND have pictures to prove it!! Cary "surprised" me with a trip to the Big Horn area of Wyoming and we fished the Tongue River! Trouts that required two hands to hold!! Saw lots of moose ... one VERY close up! ... saw real cowboys ... with real spurs! ... some even riding mules!! What a hoot!!! Stayed at what Wyoming refers to as a "resort" ... means there was indoor plumbing!! They served meals that I would have been able to feed all 3 kids, Cary and myself from their single serving!! (well of course I ate it all!!). It was a trip to remember, for sure!

    Sorta glad to be home, but not much. Did miss all you guys though! Oh, I didn't mention the "resort" had no phones, no computers, no cell phones, nada!! It was WONDERFUL!!!!
    Trouts don't live in ugly places.

    Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.

    Well Dang, Betty! I don't see no pitchers!! We want pitchers. We want pitchers. Uhhhwaaaaaaaaaah. We want pitchers!!

    It sounds like you had a great time, and I'm envious of your ability to take the time enjoying the trip and the trout. Yes, I can spell "pictures". I ain't unlitteret, ya' no! Take your time. Tomorrow will be soon enough.
    They're just fish, right? Right?

    Max,
    Was it my description of the place that gave it away?? Yes, indeed, it was Bear Lodge. What an incredible place!! Nothing fancy, by any means, but, what great people! And the fishing! OMG!!! Don't know that I'm ready to stay in their cabins (no indoor plumbing, TV, phones, cell phones), but I'd go back to the lodge in a heart beat!!!
