An Overnight Backpack Trip
 

Although it was early in the year to head up into the high country, I
figured with the record heat we've been having I'd take a chance and
hike in a "low" high country at about 10000'. It might still be frozen
or more likely there would be big snowbanks blocking the trail.

I lucked out.

You know, if you keep posting these records of your excursions into
hell, we're all going to start feeling sorry for you.....

Very cool. Almost makes a guy want to break out singin' "Rocky Mountain
High". . . almost.

Some gorgeous scenery there, Willi ! Been far too long since I fished
those Colorado Rockies.

It's always a pleasure to see pictures of your trips.

Up here, we pretty much run out of trees at 10,000 feet. Are you
packing a float tube? Otherwise, tree lined lakes are kind of a pain.
I guess that's why I like fishing above timberline.

The reservoir looks like one we passed on a train trip we took a few
weeks ago from Denver to Glenwood Springs. Very low.

I've only done day hikes so far. My new job is really cutting into my
physical fitness program and backpacking. I hope to finish up the two
well job in a week or so and get to backpacking and fishing.

You've got things backward there Bob.

The story of my life!

You need to get a job where you
work in the Winter when it sucks to live in Wyoming so you can be off
when it's a great place to be.

This 2 well job will be the last for me until fall. Things pick up in
the fall, winter and early spring in the methane field. I don't have to
take any of the jobs but feel the need to strike while the iron is hot.
It's really interesting work and I've met some really interesting
people. I've also read more books in the last few months than the last
30 years. This is a job where you can be really busy one day and then
wait around for a whole 12 hour shift for something to happen the next
day. I even tie some flys during my downtime and get paid to do it!

Oh, and it never sucks to live in Wyoming. Especially during tax time!
