I'm more tempted to take along a pack rod. The river is too small to
fish at that spot, but downstream near Ketchum and Hailey the XC trails
cover some pretty good looking holes.

Nice shot. Was that taken recently? How is that stream able to stay
open? Is it a spring creek? "Everything" in Colorado is frozen over
already.

Yesterday.

Global warming? :-)

It's a fairly typical freestone creek.

There's a fair amount of snow on the other side of Galena Summit, which
separates the Sawtooth Basin (where Stanley is) from the Wood River
Valley (where Ketchum and Sun Valley are). Unfortunately, there's not
much snow here in the basin, so I've been going "over the hill" (as we
say) to ski. There are a number of storms headed our way and it's been
snowing all night, so I'm hopeful for later in the year. However, the
weather in the Lake Tahoe area is so far keeping me from returning to
California for Christmas.

camera. g

What I can't figure out is why he would want a cell phone when he was
going skiing and/or fishing out in the country.

Because it has a camera. Duh!

Also, I was thinking of going into Ketchum (but didn't -- another 20
miles, or 40 round-trip). My iPhone provides all kinds of useful
services, especially when WiFi is available, as it is nearly everywhere
in Ketchum. It's like carrying an internet-browsing computer in my pocket.
