Back in town after three weeks away for Marine Corps Reserve Training. I'm told it was really hot here while I was gone, but I was missing the weather here alot. South Korea in August is not my idea of fun, although it was significantly cooler than expected, and I didn't get rained on even once, which is a miracle in itself.
Anyway, I couldn't help but occasionally dream about fishing the Lamar River right now. The grasshoppers must be getting on the water by now, and the water is coming down according to the graphs but still high at 660. I think it was 1500 in late July when I went last.
But I won't be going to Yellowstone this weekend. Bummer! But I have hopes of something even better. I'm taking Paul out for his first camping trip! I'm not sure where we're going yet, but I want to keep it close and by a river or lake of some sort to get some fishing in. I also want to do some hiking. Can't have any bear activity because he's still in diapers (hopefully not next week, though!) and I don't want to deal with the risk that diapers in the backcountry could bring.
And I'm still planning a Yellowstone trip for the weekend of Sept 17th. The Bechler River has entered the discussion, and that's very exciting! Heads or tails, Bechler or Lamar.....either way, it's a win!
