From my recent trip out West

Scrapbook

For all practical purposes the trip has reached its conclusion. We have posted some photos that didn't make the previous dispatches. We hope you enjoy these. The sight will remain up in case you wish to revisit it or tell your friends about it.

Please let us know what you thought about the project: things you may have particularly enjoyed, things that could use improvement, (lord knows I would do things differently in some cases), ideas on how we might actually make something like this a profitable endeavor. Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks to all of you for visiting the twz site. I had a great time talking with all of you who emailed me. You were a great audience.

From, Zelda, me, and Rob, (the man behind the scenes)- happy traveling.

Sun River looking downstream from atop the Gibson Dam 

Gibson Reservoir looking southwest from the scenic overlook above the Gibson Dam, damning the Sun River. The lake is full of rainbow trout. It is a place I would definitely return to. 

Rookie League baseball on a fine Sunday night in Billings, Montana. 

Zelda on the alert for any grizzly bears that happen to wander into the Bighorn River. 

Zelda, out there, acting as co-pilot, making certain if there are cows about, the driver gets adequate warning. 

Zelda takes a break from paddling on the Bighorn River. 

Nightfall on Wade Lake. Wade Lake is a beautiful little lake about 30 miles from West Yellowstone. It is full of good-sized Rainbow Trout. 

Typical camp. This was at Bear Paw Lake south of Havre, MT, home of Duck. 

Traveling Kohlie style. 

Fort Peck Reservoir looking west. This is a huge body of water filled with big fish: salmon, walleye, lake trout, pike, and who knows what else. While I was at the bait shop, a guy called from the lake claiming he had a record a salmon. It turned out to only be 25 pounds, about four pounds shy. Still, a nice fish.
