You're one tough dude, Connie. That was a beautiful account of your trip. Too bad about the rest of the regular crew but I suppose that life is all about priorities. I have no point of reference as I've never been up there but that water appears to be terribly low. It must have changed where you fished with the new challenges and hazards. Stripping down to go play in the water up there in May must be another hazard on body parts. And those aerial shots, man, everytime I see those I keep thinking that I'd want to stop at every lake and river to give them a try.
Good on you for keeping up the tradition my friend and thank you for the great report.
BTW, did you happen to run into your favorite CO?
