LMFAO! you thought the sat dish was on the truck? hahahahaha bout to piss meeself.................FOG feeking old guy................yer damn right 54 yesterday!
1) at my age YOU HAD BETTER HAVE YER ACT TOGETHER!
2) 16 days was NOT enough time for this trip mileage to see it well enough. 3 states i wanna explore more are montana wy and idaho. next roadtrip more direct route fer sure.
3) the sat dish boofoonary was in new messiko at the phased array radar dish site in the middle of BFE!
4) we have been doing this for years now, and we had it down to a science daily/nightly. 5 minutes to clear truck bed out and set up sleeper pads and sleeper bags. all gear waterproof. all food stuffs into truck at night due to obvious bear problemos. all crap on roof rack was crap i might need maybe need. if i felt like making a camp alil more homey.
5) 5 minutes to stuff bags and pads and load truck
6) 16 minutes at 9000 ft elevation for coffee to be completed. ran (1) coleman green bottle 16 days making 2 pots of coffee each morning. the freeking trout didnt have a snowballs chance in hell with me ripping into them at dawn. "we attack at dawn!"
7) when buying roof rack..........buy the locks. also buy tire stand that goes over rear tires to have side access if needed packing crap.
8) for a trip like this and the amount of fishing(pillaging) get your reels rewound with new fishing line. we never had the fly reels or lure reels crap on us. pack yer rods in cabela hard cases.
9) IN JELLYSTONE DO NOT go into park with salmon eggs or worms or live bait. GIANT NO NO! barbless hooks and you can ONLY USE FLIES or LURES!
10) cant tell you how many damn trout got off of those damn barbless hooks. i would have been really pissed if i had latched onto a monster and lost him.
11) NOTHING BETTER THAN YELLING TO THE WORLD AT 6-7am ................"I FEEKING GOT ONE!" and thats a FACT JACK!
12) all trouts portrayed in these photos were humanely treated, handled with TLC wet hands, swoooooshed around in the water, and THEN RELEASED!
13) mikes hard lemonade rasberrys are an excellent companion ripping flies and lures all damn day in and out of the rivers and lakes.
14) chest holster is a big plus vs side holster when casting.
15) SIMMS waders gotta be the baddest azz waders i have ever laid my hands on. dear santa i want some SIMMS WADERS!
16) the chances of any of us bumping into a bear.....................IS HUGE! dont fool yerself and dont ever give me this CRAP that yer some bad azz and yer on the top of the food chain................cuz YOU AINT and I AINT in jellystone. large groups making noise heavily armed if going in the backcountry or just chasing a stream looking for trout. the nez perce river was like walking into the belly of the beast. when you see fresh bison kills.......................well lets just say yer sphincter goes into permanent lockdown mode, and suddenly survival instinct kicks in and the trout dont look so pretty any more. and it aint fun!
17) make reservations in jellystone.............period. what a freeking ZOO!
18) see the I-MAX of jellystone in west jellystone. well worth it.
19) the hot springs just north of mammoth hot springs have shown positive for legioneers disease and various other COO-DIES! as per USFS poster there.
20) plan on getting bent over backwards on fuel in jellystone park.
