Got up the last couple of days and did some fly fishing with Alex in Rocky Mountain National Park. We hiked back above Lone Pine Lake in the East Inlet basin, hitting the meadows and streams along the way. Between us we caught 17-18 fish, mostly small Brookies.. They were pretty much hitting anything we tossed into the water.

Got out yesterday on the east side of Rollins Pass with the snowboard. iskibc and I did a quick loop from Yankee Doodle lake to Forest Lakes cirque, dropped in…. did another quick lap off the chutes on Radiobeacon and hiked out back to the truck.

My dad picked me up super early this morning and we up into the high country to have some fun, hike around, and scout some new fly fishing areas. Now my dad is used to the big waters of Wyoming and Montana so it’s hard to motivate him to get out in search of the “little guys”. We had a great time, weather was nice and cool — a bit windy, which made fishing the lakes harder. We stuck to the in-lets and out-lets mostly. My dad was the “guide” for this little excursion, he gave me a bunch of pointers and I ended up hooking a small brookie! We were Nymphing and he took a small Pheasant Tail Bead Head.

I’ve been thinking about this for a long time and the time has finally come. After looking at the countless sick rigs and builds on ih8mud.com and sleeoffroad.com. Time to upgrade.

I use the 100 primarily to get me, my friends and our snowmobiles / snowboards to the backcountry. Over 80 days a year towing the sleds. Moderate 4 wheeling and lots of camping. I love my LC, got it 4 or 5 years ago as the second owner. I’ve had zero problems with the truck and I have a trusted and great local mechanic who rocks! The 100 Series is my 3rd LC, I had a 40 Series on 35s with a Chevy 350….. And an bright orange 60 series.

I hope to add bumpers and some other stuff in the future. Some pictures of mods that I’ve already completed are below.
