HERE WE GO!! The trip we have dreamed of and that you are probably tired of hearing about! As you can tell from the pictures, we are both pretty darned giddy about this whole deal! We have a very loose itinerary laid out for most of the trip, so we have a general idea of where we will be going, but are not sure about what all we will see, the people we will meet along the way, or what twists and turns lie ahead – those unknowns just add to the anticipation and excitement. But there is one given – there will be plenty of fly-fishing in some spectacular environs. I’ve always looked forward to and immensely enjoyed “road trips” ever since childhood, when a week-end camping/fishing trip or an extended vacation to visit family out west was preceded by a sleepless night of anxiousness to be the first to awake and get the family out the door. Charlcie, Ben, and I have continued to enjoy family explorations, and later, the many treks to soccer venues all around the country. Along with other soccer parents, we have continued this tradition. We are finally lucky enough to take the mother of all fly-fishing road trips – four months together in a big red truck, sharing a double sleeping bag, and hoping we can survive each other!
