Some of the stupidest **** I have ever done involved letting
cabin fever interfere with judgement.


Larry - Thanks for the advice

Here's stupid:

When we first moved West
We took a small raft (bathtub sized) from Polebridge on down the North
Fork of the Flathead - in early May

We capsized - I was lucky to make it twice thru some major rapids w
brush , logjams all around

Stupid! I know that I am lucky to have survived.
I don't mess w heavy water and wading or floating rivers.
2-3 yrs ago I was goin' nuts
w cabin fever
and went to Yellowstone
I remember 2 things

One - was paying $4.05 per gallon for gas (where did my $$ go)
The other was the rivers - They were not fishable in July There ws no
way that I would wade!
