Yeah, Ed, I know it's all downhill from here. I'll just do my best to make it a slow spiral rather than a nose dive.
ST, I'm not sure what you're alluding to, but I just can't see hiking in the Wind River Mountains with a drift boat.

A 35 pound backpack will be quite enough.
As for the NCFFB, there are still plenty of folks who have something worthwhile to say here. I try to inject a little humor from time to time, ask questions that might also help others and contribute when I learn something new.
My sense of humor might raise a few hackles, but I hope that the slams I receive are mostly (partly?) in fun.
So, where ya goin' and can it really compete with the pristine lakes and streams of the glacial peaks of Wyoming? I'm hoping for a 20" golden trout, but any golden trout up there is a beauty to behold. Each one is a piece of art.
