A couple days of rain and moderating temps have lessened the smoke so it's time for one more trip to put a wrap on the season. Once again, the neighborhood turkeys are there to see me off




Nice to actually see the sky again






Fires in the Park are still going strong, though; here's the one at Paola, just outside on the southern flank




Clear sailing at the pass




Still a few spots open at the campground; base camp established so it's time to go fishing. Lots of trico spinners flying around but by the time I get rigged up that's pretty much over so I head for a hopper/dropper spot






She could show me a thing or two about fishing




But I manage to stumble across some brown fish anyway




Who show a preference for pink
