    Like listening to the traffic report in town while you navigate a gravel road setting up the shuttle for the day.  

    Like keeping one eye on your indicator and the other on a huge sow and her juvenile on the other side of the river

    Like going to peel out some line from your reel and being caught off guard by how tight it is on your reel.  Then realizing that all of it left your reel and was replaced under tremendous pressure during the previous tug of war.    

    These images will carry me through the next 7 months of snow…

    Like having a giant vultures swoop down to have a look at you while you’re taking a snooze under a Willow tree on the banks of some un-named alpine stream…

    Like almost stepping on Leopard spoor that’s so fresh the water is still seeping into it…

    Like being so far up the mountain that it snows on you in the middle of summer…

    and my favourite summer pastime…

    Like hearing the sound of the thin rind of fat sizzle on the steaks on the braai (BBQ), while the boys drink beers and bullshit about the fishing…

    It took me three phone calls to my buddy and fellow board member and a full afternoon at work to finally get myself set up to post pictures.  I feel like I really accomplished something this week.  See if these match up with your mental images…

    Not the biggest but for sure the prettiest…

    I’m into a nice dolly.  The bears could care less…

    I am hiding my ugly mug…

    Must be Alaska…I think I recognize one of the bears.

    Like sitting on the front porch on the first cool clear night of fall smoking a pipe of a premium mixture of TN and VA tobacco.
