Man week last week. Made plans.


Stretched legs and leaders.


No trail; pick your poison.


Saw black stones, Hendricksons, sallies, sulphers (the bigger ones), golden stones, midges, green drakes.  Didn't get a good pic of one. 

Dinks started looking up as the day went on.




Sat down to split a beer. Then split another.


Then split another.


Kept on with a little less balance.






Kept finding dinks.  Dinks hit the spot.  Poor humpy, sad to see him go at such a young age.


It wasn't sunup to sundown, but we got our fill.  Felt like eastern summer: 93 degrees, hazy, could cut the humidity with a knife. We heard cracks and booms on the bushwack out, waiting to get crushed by a storm we couldn't see coming behind the ridgeline.  The storm missed us but when we got to the bottom of the mountain it looked like a tornado had come through.

Until the next one.  0:0

Glad you got out. Good shit. Your weekday planning looks similar to mine. Going to try and change that soon.

[Dougfish]

You had my vote for "most needing to get out". Good on ya!

And a lovely portrayal of it also.  bd;0

Deep dig on the tunes.

Heady Topper FTW.

You do good trip reports.

Deep dig on the tunes. 

You ever check out the Eccentric Soul albums?  Lots and lots of gems.  I think there are like 10 volumes, each featuring different small labels.

I think it's only available in Vermont, my buddy brought some back from a trip.

Nice ODA.  How were water levels?

[Dougfish]

It was MAY.
Although they are still good. 

[bmadd]

Ha!

Oh haha. My computer kicked the bucket last week and looking at the boards thru the little screened iphone is disorientating.
