montana july 8-18

only two months. still unsure who'll be showing up. other than me,
makela and roger(?), doesn't sound like many distance travelers will be
in the area. small crowds seem to be the deal this year...not many
traveling to penns either. i'm gonna miss the regulars out west,
especially my good friend and fellow traveler, ij. but, each year is a
new adventure. warren promises some interesting hikes into new areas,
and since he won't be burdened with the gink boat duties this year, i'm
looking forward to spending more time on the water with him and learning
a bit more about the great mystery.

fellers, this life squirms away too fast...best get you a handful of it
every chance you get.

Unless I get fired, together with a bunch of other guys, I will go, but
since I was one of the most recently hired at my office it doesn't look
all that good. 75 people out of approx 550 are to be let off.
The cabin is paid for, so if I can't make it I'm hoping that riverman
can, and will, use it.
Will know more in two weeks.

Sounds like you changed your mind? Coming to Penn's?

IJ will be missed.....no doubt about it. Can't change his mind?

I may be slow man now, so I'm bear bait. Gotta get back in shape...

I'm up to about 80%, but still not certain. My heart's there already...

we will be there at the slide... as is always the case, my wife's
birthday arrives on the day the PMD's pop and I will be in Jackson
looking at over priced Bling, hoping to make the evening caddis.
I had to pass on a gracious invitation to float the river on SWMBO's
Bday last year...
It's the price I must pay to play.

missed it for me.. I'll be fishing MT July 22 - 29..



Wouldn't mind fishing with a few of the regular posters...

I'll be back in 2007, but this year I've got all my chips on Alaska in
August. I will really miss the Madison this year. bruce h

I'd say I'm about 50:50 right now. If I make it I'll be driving and
car camping at the campground there.....

I ll go if Chas Willi Warren and John H go and maybe DIck Chaney
and Justice Conner. Other wise it would be no fun

MT

Got a couple of "ifs' in the way. "If" the house in Maryland sells and
"if" the wiff and daughter can get out here, I'll be driving out from
Nebraska and pitchin' a tent/sharing a room with someone.
"If" I can hook up with the Finn on Penns, I might as well fish with
him in Montana. Hey Mike, have you changed your cell phone in the last
year?
