A short drive (finally) from St. Anthony, ID to the Madison Arm Resort north of West Yellowstone, Montana. Just had to pull over and try to get a shot of the Tetons to the east of me. Kinda far away, so it didn't turn out well. Arrived at the resort about an hour after friends Robbin and Laura (from Sparks) arrived. Next two days were down days. Needed them after the rush of getting everything loaded and taken care of at home before leaving. This resort is worth the horrible, washboard, forest service road that leads to it. The peopleare so friendly and Hebgen Lake and the surrounding country are beautiful. They try and remember folks by name.
Finally got out on the lake today. Robbin and Laura in their motorized pontoon boats and me in a borrowed, "row it yourself" pontoon boat. :) Robbin towed me out to the deep water to fish with them after spending the evening before setting my fly rods up for success. And after much adjusting to this new way of fishing, I got the first fish of the morning. A beautiful 15 inch rainbow trout. Picture turned out blurry so I won't post it. "Sure, Jane. Tell us another story". Honest, I did!
I decorated the trailer for the 4th of July with bunting and American flags. The owners of the rv park hosted everyone in the park to a BBQ - a yearly event. People brought salads to go with the wonderful hamburgers and someone made homemade ice cream! What a wonderful time. No wonder some of these prople have been spending there summers here.
Sorry, no photos this posting but the pictures won't download for some reason. I'll have to figure this one out.
