Casual Trip to the Winds

We started out in Kemmerer with a power breakfast. This would fuel our 7 mile hike into Thumb Lake.

At this point, we ran outta gas. so much for the power breakfast. Wecamped amound the spruce trees, in the middle right hand area of this photo.rival, Hans whipped out a couple semi cold Diet Cokes. Bless that man!

We actually managed to catch a couple fish between the naps, and general laziness. Maybe it was the high altitude, but we were both about as motivated as a couple of newly neutered pups.

After the hike out, we camped next to the Green River. That morning we woke to a few showers of rain. We improvised by adding a "shell" to our sleeping quarters, and slept in a little longer. Waiting for the rain to ease.

After a bit, the sun came out, and we caught a few trout out of the fabled Green river. But wished we had had a drift boat, to do this large river justice.

All in all, the fishing was marginal, but the scenery beautiful, and isn't that what's it all about?

Ok, no. But there's always another day around the corner, before the snows fly.
