My Life and Travels
Pictures Took 10 minutes to upload these while at Ruby Creek with slow cell service.
This is a nice place they will deliver water to your RV and they have outhouses, no garbage. It is a non profit and you pay by donation. I think we will be here until next Monday or Tuesday so we gave them $100.00. I can fish right here at the park and will not have to drive.
Change of plans, talked to a local guy this afternoon and he said the Big Hole River north of Dillon was fishing really well.
Not sure if we well have any cell serve while we are there.
Fishing today, still no catching.
Today was the first day we were able to turn the heat off during the day. The news from Butte says temps are 10 degrees below normal. This year Custer State Park in South Dakota got a foot of snow during the same time period we were there last year.
Fishing today, no catching.
Nice day only had a little wind. I at least saw one trout.
Current plan is to move to Madison River and Ruby Creek CG on Monday.
Fished today and had a good time, not even one strike.
The whole map would not fill in cellphone internet is not usually very good.
It was in the mid 40’s but didn’t seem to cold.
Went into town this morning for propane. With the cold weather I am not sure we had enough for the long weekend end. We are parked in more of a parking lot rather than an actual camping site and didn’t want to leave here on a busy weekend.
New camp area.
Did need to move 2 feet to the left from the first time I pulled in so the radio and TV could see the satellites.
Had some thick rain this morning.
Here is the weather report.
Got out for some fishing today.
I fished the whole bend out in front of where the GPS points cut across the point. I had the GPS inside my fishing pack so must have missed some transmissions, or it went in the 4 hour mode. I wasn’t moving very fast, tied a lot of flies into the line.
This is the first time I have used my new 10 foot 5 weight.
I got this one monogrammed.
Think I’m really going to like it, the extra foot makes a difference and this is the best rod and reel ORVIS makes.
Jean’s birthday today so I baked a cakes.
Had a little rain off and on yesterday and some rain last night. It was 34 degrees this morning and the snow level was 100 feet above the coach.
The area of the river I want to fish is not open yet. Last year we where not here until June 6th. We have lots of propane and can get more in Dillion.
As I was checking things out before leaving 5he big house the hot water tank was not shutting off. The water got up to 150 when I finally turned it off.
While we were in Richland I got a new E.C.O & thermostat. I have an adjustable thermostat so I did not replace the thermostat.
Water heater is working now in cold Montana.
358 miles all in the rain. Had the wipers on intermittent a couple of times but that’s the best it got. Dennis and Ed are returning from Utah and they rented a truck in Boise rather then ride for 10 hours in the rain, money well spent.
Campsite picture
We were here for four days last year looking for fishable waters and that is why we’re here this year. The weather report for Butte says snow above 5500 feet tonight and we are at 5184. Have a full tank of propane and 70 gallons of gas so we are good for a long time.
