The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

The car rental company employee was a little shocked at the milage use. I looked at the check out receipt back at the airport and was surprised to see we logged in 2629 miles over 11 days. Covering all those miles also meant encountering a lot of road construction as well. The economic recovery is in full swing in the states of Montana and Wyoming via road construction.

As far as Rock Creek, the wife wants to move there. Bless her heart. I can't see her living that far off the pavement or off the grid for that matter. One place we liked was 23 miles in. Upriver from Bonner was nice as well. We plan to spend more time south of Bozeman in the Gallatin Valley and surrounding Missoula next go around. I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of traffic encountered.

The craziest thing we saw was a gal riding down from the top of Glacier Park on a Harley and shooting video at the same time. She was using the view finder to ride the bike and get the best panoramic shots. The oncoming traffic wasn't that impressed either. And as far as congestion, Jackson is the winner. It took us 4-5 light changes to make it through one stop light in Jackson. Things have surely changed since our last trip there back in the mid 90's.
