My Life and Travels
We are in site 1 and the internet is much better than site 2. Actually have a connection for several hours most mornings.
Fishing was good today 12 to the net and 6 more on, all Mountain Whitefish.
Several 18 inches.
Moving day again, drove up to Palisades Campground and got site 1. Then into town for gas, propane, dump, food and laundry. We have been running the generator quite a bit so we needed to get gas.
It was cold this morning, here is the ice I got off the large slide topper this morning.
We have been in Montana since September 1, we didn’t have any internet during the first two weeks and I have been fishing most of my time fishing every day and not spending time writing here.
Today I spent a bunch of time updating the first week of this trip while in Washington on the American River with the Garcia’s and Brian. With the slow internet we have here at Ruby Creek it took me 45 minutes to get the InReach maps from the first day of travel and the drive to Montana.
I was unable to fish today because of the wind, blowing in the 20’s all day.
We have gotten 8 mice while we’ve been here, must be time to move.
While we were here at Ruby Creek I went for walks up on the bench above the river.
Today was rainy and very windy so I spent the day tying flies.
This is site 15 at Ruby Creek BLM Campground.
I got one fish to the net and had 3 more on, the one to the net was this 16 inch rainbow.
We have had a lot of California smoke but nothing like the Garcia’s in Richland and the big house in Emumclaw.
Today we were at air quality of 101, the big house 184 and Garcia’s 383.
These are today’s sunset.
After lunch I went fishing and got 2 to net and 3 on.
Ok, this is a lot of pictures of the same fish, however this is a 19+ inch trout.
Today is moving day. We will run into Ennis: dump, get propane, food and laundry.
On the way to town we’ll stop on Ruby Creek CG to get a site before going into town. We got site 15 again. We will more than likely stay here for 2 weeks.
Fished for a while after we got camp set up, got nothing.
The last couple of days have been smokey. Smoke coming for the California fires.
There are mountains out there.
