We rolled into Ennis with the wind howling and the rain deluging!  That didn’t stop us from fishing.   We wadered up, through tight casts, and caught fish!
Over four days we [...]

13 hours after we left Salt Lake we drove into Nelson just as the clouds were letting up after a good storm.  The following days we crushed all terrain knowing that any day it would cloud up and we wouldn’t see the sun for awhile.  We ended up getting 5 days of clear, which I [...]
