I was 31 years old when I took this picture of my hiking boots looking at Mt. Olympus in Olympic National Park. We started at Soleduck Hot Spring, carrying a 100 pound pack up to the High Divide across the Cat Walk to Mt. Carrie. The valley below between us and Mt. Olympus is the Hoh River Valley.
This picture was taken today at 67 years old, my new wading boots setting in front of my motorhome after a day of fly fishing in Yellowstone National Park on the Firehole and Madison Rivers.
Today I want back into the park and fished the Firehole River.
