If I was smarter, I'd keep an extra stashed in the truck, camper, dresser, desk, garage, packs.....................

Only thing she loses more often is her car keys. But, all in all, I don't mind one bit.

Thanks all for your continued kind comments. Part Three should be up tomorrow. I got distracted this evening, had to help find some car keys.

As usual, great TR with beautiful photos and a wonderful narrative. I've yet to use my camper as a base camp for a backpacking trip, so you've got me thinking...

Looking forward to the rest of the story.

The story continues in Part Three, now up on our blog -

Absaroka Beartooth Wilderness, Montana - July 2015 - Part Three

Cool! Beautiful country is an understatement! And, a grayling, I've never caught one.

 

[Foy]

Terrific reporting and photography through Part Three! And the expected fine work by the Map Lady, too.

We used to catch 10-12" arctic grayling in the Wise River, over in the Pioneers, "back in the day" when we were kids in our 20s. Most often on "garden hackle" and ultralight spinning rods. That was a beauty you brought to hand.

Looking forward to Part Four!

Sounds like a great trip. I grew up hiking into the remote lakes of Colorado, and it was always a highlight catching those elusive high mountain lake trout!
Can't wait to read the next installment.

To see if I again end with a tease......................................................

I've completed Part Four and it is posted on our blog -

Awesome story and pics as usual. I can't wait til part 5! thanks for sharing. Great stuff

 

[Foy]

More great reading and picture viewing. Thanks so much for the time and effort required to share!

I wonder if the snow came on the night of Monday, July 27? We encountered snow in Teton Pass that afternoon, and the next morning in downtown Jackson, WY had temps in the 30s and snow on the mountains above around 7,000'.
