When I was young, I was a long haired hippie. I ended up following a conventional life and now the hair that I have left is now gray and short.

There are hippies in the Driftless area of Wisconsin. They work at organic farms. I have met some nice ones when I have been on fishing trips in the Driftless.

I have an old pair of Hodgeman hip waders that I use a few times a year when I fish during lunch break. It is quick to get in and out them. When I wear them, I pretty much need to know where I will be wading because it is easy to wade a bit deep and fill them up. I think that waist high waders are way more versatile and just as comfortable.
