Wind River Mountain Range, Wy, 2011

Wow! Wind River Range in Wyoming is one of the premier hiking trips in the US and one that I will never forget. We started from the trail at Pole Creek near Pinedale, Wy. We hiked into our base camp at Pole Creek Lake and then explored from there. The best part of the trip was exploring the outlet from Pole Creek Lake and following the river to these beautifull waterfalls emptying into Thousand Island Lake. The fishing was the best day ever for trout. Larry and I caught around 30 big fish between us. After a while I would almost giggle every time I got a big hit on my lure. The timing of this trip was amaizing. With all of the vast world and possibilities out there, where do I go next? What is really important in life? 4 days in the wilderness, miles and miles away from the hustle and bustle, can really help you get back to who you are in this world. It was an awsome trip. I think I got it :).

Washington Lake

Fun daddy dughter camping at Washington Lake for 3 days. Jess loves smores and campfires. She hates bugs so getting her out of the camper was a challenge at tiimes. Nice to get away with just the two of us. This site is at 10k foot elevation so notice the snow on the mountain. The campground opened a few weeks late this year and cut our trip by 4 days on the front end due to snow and tree removal. Snow was all around the trails. Fishing was great!

Lots of fun fishing in the Boulder Mountains. Came back through Escallante on Hwy 12. Hells Backbone, most interesting stretch of road I have ever been on in UT.
