I've covered a lot of miles in this crazy year of pandemic and perdition. As terrible as 2020 has been for so many around the world, I haven't got too much to complain about. I had enough work to keep my gas tank full and I had enough free time to travel, fly fish and … Continue reading 2020 Has Been Crazy
[Ed. note: I'm in Wyoming now and realized I failed to click the publish button on this post last month!] A few years ago, I went exploring with the RV up near the top of Cameron Pass, where the scuttlebutt said that there were dispersed campsites available along Long Draw reservoir and the creek that … Continue reading The Long Draw Cutthroat
Last Sunday, I rode up the Poudre Canyon for the third week in a row to check on Joe Wright reservoir, looking to hit the grayling spawning run. Three years ago I lucked into it on June 26, and it was some of the craziest fly fishing action I’ve ever experienced… a fish on every … Continue reading Searching for Grayling and Salmonflies
I've been at work in Colorado for two weeks now and have eased back into fly fishing freshwater. Aside from a few outings for panfish in a Petaluma pond and a couple of short days on creeks in Arizona and Nevada, I haven't fished freshwater since the Fall of 2018. I went with a friend … Continue reading The Tiny First Fish of 2020 in Colorado
I'm headed to Colorado again to finish up a job I started there back in 2016. In 2015, my first year traveling in my Funmover RV, I stopped at Lamoille Canyon in June and enjoyed a few great days flyfishing up and down the creek. I visited again in 2018 on my way to Montana, … Continue reading Eastbound Again -A Stop at Lamoille Canyon, Nevada
My Mom is pretty badass. She's been through a lot over the years, and she's still grinning. Hauling kids around the world when the US Navy moved us from place to place. Starting a software company in the 1980s and keeping it going and growing. She looked after my Grandmother as she battled cancer to … Continue reading A Mother’s Day Apart
Man, I loved this bike. Rode hard and put away wet. Carried my float tube, waders and fly gear up a jeep track to catch cutthroat trout in Wyoming. Went on a loop around Jarbidge, Nevada alongside the Bruneau River on a trail that seemed never ending. The first owner took it to Argentina... this … Continue reading 2004 KTM 950 ADV – SOLD

It's taken me some time to recover from the big auction closing day on Wednesday. The Bugeye got a good price, a bit better than I had expected, but fair I think. Amazingly, the winner was local and he was the only one to come look at the car in person. We did a bank … Continue reading Sold
We are inside of 24 hours remaining on the auction at BringaTrailer.com! I'm chewing my fingernails off over here, as there's hardly any chatter going on in the comments. Despite having felt at times like this car was a terrible use of my time (650 hours documented, folks!) I have always felt warm and fuzzy … Continue reading Less Than 24 Hours Remaining to Bid on the 215 V8 Bugeye Sprite
