Friday Walt came to visit! He wanted to go out on the town, so we did! Hit a few cool places. Nothing regular though. 21st floor bar at the new Hyatt, and Illegal Pete's (My favorite Burrito place).
Here's Tucker and Walt!!! He's one of our favorite people - and we met him monoskiing... speaking of, there's a birthday BBQ on Saturday for another monoski friend (also one of our favorite people)!
Saturday I spent the day working... A release coming up and one guy in my group needs A LOT of help!
But then the fun begins! We headed up to Gordo's place in Leadville about 6. (A quick stop at the gas station to fill up... Oops we actually ran out of gas 100 yards before the station and rolled in, but had to push 30 feet to the pump!) I just love how that car handles in the mountains.
We got up pretty early, and headed down to the upper Arkansas. We tried a few places with Dry flies, but Gordo and Harry were raking them in with the hard bait. I didn't even get a strike!
I tried everything, even though we had a small Midge hatch, and later that day an olive Caddis, but neither on my line did any good.
At lunch we headed for Fisherman's Bridge, but not for fishing, we rafted Brown's canyon with a friend of Gordo's. That was a fun time! The water is still REALLY COLD!
After the raft trip we spent a while in old town Salida, dropped by Cody's place (Not home) called Walt, and hung out for a short bit before cruising back to Denver. The traffic isn't crazy yet this time of year on 285.
Sorry no pictures this post. No waterproof cameras!
