The Fishermen...

Chad and three of his buddies have look forward to, and planned this week long fly fishing trip in Wyoming, in a place called, "The Winds." Not just anyone can do this adventure. It was much more than bobber fishing! After the training hikes before the trip, and the massive tie flying in our front room, it was time for them to head off!

The four of them hiked over 40 miles, with 40 pound packs, in high altitude conditions, over a week long stretch. They caught LOTS of fish, and saw incredible vistas, lakes, and valleys all around. In fact, they were so far "away" that cell-phones were of no use. The weather was beautiful, the masquitoes for plentiful...and I believe many aspects of this trip were a taste of heaven for these four. I am sure another trip is in the making. We are so glad they got home safe and sound...and had a great time!
