An Overnight Backpack Trip

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.

I walked in about 6 miles, far too far for me to carry a tube etc.

Treeline is a bit higher. There were a number of areas that gave you
casting room.



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. 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.

The story of my life!

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!
