Way north today in the park. Logged another 12 miles, got some nice fish. Man was it a beautiful day, the bluebird sky was my motivation to press on. Blistered feet from hiking miles and miles in my Keens. I love the rockies.

Took Bones up fishing in the late afternoon, we scored some nice cutties. I was pretty stoked to have Bones on this trip, as no one wanted to fish anywhere near us! Thanks bro.

What just happened? We still really don't know, but it seems we are plus 9 on the good fish karma. Went to explore a new spot in Indian Peaks Wilderness and it was simply amazing. Bushwhacked most of the day and probably did another 10 miles or so. We got some weird looks from people at the trailhead as Alex was in Chacos and I was in my Keens. I caught mostly brookies, and a couple of nice cuts. Alex taught the brookies a less as well and slayed the lake cuts.... I think he even scored a nice lake rainbow. The pictures:

Em and I went fishing up in Indian Peaks last night. It's nice to leave town and be on the water in 45 minutes or so. After a mile or so hike we caught a couple of lake cuts and a small brookie. Spent the morning putting in another 5 or so hours working on the cabin with the crew. Long day!
