Finally got an opportunity and jumped on it.



Still on the road but should get back to Texas tomorrow evening and will post a full report in a couple days.

Nice! Good job!

Thanks PB

Here's a little preview:

can't wait for the full report.

That's on my "Bucket List" too. Details will be appreciated.

Cutt-Slam; never heard of it before but it's a fine idea.
So are the different sub-species located in separated bodies of water?

love that place, love the forest service brown signs too!

I envy you with all that I am.

This summer has been like no other in memory, with no obligations other than my own it drug by. So patiently I went with the flow, knowing everything will soon change. After weeks of waiting the day came. With the car loaded down in the parking lot, I was the first to turn in the final and was probably on the other side of Chillicothe before the last exam was completed.

With the past 4 years crashing down on me, I finally had the excuse I needed to take my long anticipated �graduation trip� or at least that�s how I played it in my head. The supporters were more than happy and gave me consent to hit the road. The only certainty I left with was that it was Yellowstone or bust. Although, I had a few detours planned along the way.

I took 800+ pictures, mostly crappy ones but here are a few that highlight the trip:













More to come later..

Sweetness. It was a good time to be in the Rockies for sure - http://texasflycaster.com/colorado-day-4-rio-reservoir-and-to-gunnison/

A trip like that would almost make it worth going back to school again.

Beautiful.

Congratulations on having the intestinal fortitude to reward yourself.

Rocky Mountain National Park is awesome! Can't wait to go back next year

looks like a nice trip....'cept were's the young ladies ? (800 pics, gotta be some chicks in there)

The trip turned out better than ever imagined. Logged 4,500 miles in 17 days and caught more fish than could be expected. It was my first time to fish the Rockies� in August and it definitely won�t be my last.

As far as pics of chicks, I tried to snap a couple no lookers but none turned out. It was shocking how many good looking birds were in every campground. I handed out a few moose drools but had little luck.

Sweet. The Cutt Slam is a nice memento, isn't it? Awesome trip, and an awesome report.
