Nice day, got out for a 3 mile walk and some sunshine. The river has cleared some.
Tomorrow we move five miles up the river to Palisades CG for 3 or 4 days.
Will not have any internet but should have texting on Jean’s phone.

Madison River, MT – Ruby Creek CG – Friday June 7, 2019
No fishing today, the water is dirty and it is going to rain all day.
Yesterday after I wrote the post I went outside to check on things and almost got blown over, wind was 50+.
Here is tonight’s forecast;
I will put the slides in before we go to bed.
This is our cellphone data service at Ruby Creek with the WeBoost on, have nothing without it.
Yesterday’s post ended up taking almost an hour to get it to actually post, oh well.

Happy Birthday Stine.
You cannot see the wind but it is blowing 20-35 mph all day. Blowing so hard I had to be careful it didn’t blowing my glasses off. The slides have been in all day and will be that way tonight.
The river is pretty dirty here but not to bad up at Three Dollar Bridge. 100% chance of rain tomorrow so we’ll see it goes, wind is supposed to be down 83° today 53° tomorrow.

We moved looking for more fish. We had ZERO cellphone while we were on the Big Hole River, it was a great place and I will go back and fill in the blog.
Today’s drive
I could not get the window on the left to close, touch screens can be a challenge.
We are in the same site as last year, starting June 17, 2018.
Current plan is to fish this area until June 24th.
