Miracle Mile

The weather and equipment were perfect. The fish didn't feel like cooperating. 

First night campsite. Notice, there are trees. Three alive and three dead. 

Moved for second & third night. 

More trees and shade. 

The river. 

That's Roger, harrassing the fish. 

Loved this hollow hulk of a long dead cottonwood. 

One last look. 

No fish worthy of photographing.

 We got our camp routine figured out and know better what we would like to have at a campsite. Like, potable water. Showers would be nice but not essential. We communed with nature without falling in the river; I'd rate that a success.  The raccoon cleaned all the years old cookies and trail mix out of Roger's vest, without ruining it. So I'd call that a good thing. We have the set up down to around 30 min and the pack up to about an hour

Now it's back to Denver to plan the next phase.

Weather was perfect. 

Stay warm.
