It's Not the City

This has been a most unusual summer for Montana. Usually by this time, we have so much dry weather, that grilling is outlawed and the smell of forest fires is prevalent. But, because trout streams are in some of the most beautiful areas of the world, it is necessary to drive through uncommon roads to get where the trout are. As you can see by our car, this is not city driving.

But, this is beautiful Montana, and I have the best viewpoint of all. The mountains, the lake, a bottle of wine, my books and notepads for quick thoughts, and my knitting. This is called relaxing in a big way.

  2. Sorry Karen, we rarely eat trout in Montana. The gift we have been given, is to catch a trout on a fly line, release it and send it back into the water to be caught again. That is the sport of flyfishing. We actually prefer to eat salmon, halibut or tuna on the grill.
