I think it is sad that Troy and I are the only ones that posted favorite parts of this trip. I will give the rest of you a chance to redeem yourself....
Troy started this list and I added to it.
-Hearing Dad's diesel fire up when it's time to pull out of the driveway.
-A hot hamburg at the upper deck.
-The drive from the boarder to Wawa.
-Getting off the plane at the Pines and giving Rodney a hard time.
-The boat ride to the chutes. (this is my favorite time of the whole year)
-Seeing some of the familiar scenery on every turn of the river for the first time of the year.
-Coming around the last turn and getting the first look at the Chutes.
-The feel of a hook set.
My additions....
The smell of a crisp morning stepping outside the cabin is one thing that is burned into my memory. I smelled that smell one morning when left my hotel in Seattle.
The glassy river as you leave the trappers cabin and make your way to the fish market.
The sound of a loon along with the water splashing up on the side of the aluminum boat.
"There's one"
The sound of the screen door slamming shut on the back cabin.
The smell of a pic burning.

Here's a few
ReplyDeleteCatching a face full of bugs coming back down the river after an evening of great fishing.
Finding a honey hole where the fishing is so hot that Dad and Uncle Steve can even catch fish.
The first bite of Dinty Moore stew.
Everyone coming together on the river after the Virtue tournament. Even when I have come in last place.
