blue ridge passion play

Indian Joe responds-- spent four days last week hiking the same creeks
with my 14 year old grandson and doubt many would call it a quality
resurrectional visit of passion. We found that a 14year old and a 73 year
old grandfather just do not have the same interest s. I am sure however that
I won many quality family points for the effort made.
Fished opie's creek one day-no other fishermen but lots of rescue workers
trying to find the couple that went in a greenly {?]
hiking trail and were last heard on their cell phone saying -Where are we?
Few fish in runs but cool weather still had them deep in pools.

stayed in optimist campground cabin for two nights then moved into tent on
Steels creek when it got a little warmer. Never saw another sole in two
days--lots of toms gobblering--and owls hooting-- fished above swimming hole
for first time and found the large rock climbing sort of like x games but
really beautiful--small pools between big rocks and waterfalls. All wild
fish and using two dry flys Walt sold me [and guaranteed productive] I
managed a couple of browns and some really lively jumping rainbows.
[ for charlie- yes did buy flies but must admit walt gave me one big one so
i could see something on end of line while fishing]
came home for easter and as squaw had been in Fla for week we said proper
devotionals and tried to resurrect things.

Sometimes even the smoothest charm just isn't enough. g

knowing dene, i'm confident she did her part...but i'd venture it would
be a miracle worthy of an application for sainthood if she managed a
resurrection of your "things". g ...

BTW, have you decided if you're riding with me to penns? and what
you're doing for montana?

Wonderful TR, Jeff - well written - and terrific pix on ABPF. Wish I was
there. I just spent two weeks in Oregon and the San Juan Islands in NW
Washington, plus a couple of days on the Olympic Peninsula - and took SWMBO
instead of a flyrod. It's beautiful country out there, but I think I'm
making progress in convincing her that she owes me one. Gonna plan on
October, fer sure.

I'll leave the power bars if you'll bring olives. :-)

What's worse: chewing a power bar, watching GWB, listening to GWB, or
listening to Ashcroft?

It's interesting that of all the people posting on ROFF from all over
the Country (and the world) it seems that people from North Carolina
express the strongest feelings about their home place. I've lived in a
number of States and the only other place I've seen this was in West
Virginia.
