We took to the River for some Steelhead fishing.  I think I posted the pic on here of my wife and her first giant steelhead.  Two casts and two steelhead, NOT bad for a first time.  I had to put in a 100 hours first.  It does help that she has a relatively decent guide.

Thanks guys.  I do enjoy writing.  I figure this is our little magazine.  If you didn't notice in the pics, we were short a pack mule, so we packed up my camp and hung it on my saddle.  It meant I was walking out, but thats ok.  I was just happy to be headed towards a warm fire someplace.

Oh man do I know what that heater must've felt like for you guys once you got to the truck.  It is crazy how it's trips exactly like that that bring a guy back the next year.  At the time you don't realize it, but once you can sit back and reflect on it all you can think of is....let's do it again.

Great story.....great pics.  I'd say you guys probably owed Steve pretty good after that too.

Mostly I owe another old timer that worked for Steve for years.  Ole Gordy is 70's and still going.  Hell he might be in the 80's now.  His mule was a lifesaver for that trip.  Steve is a good family friend.  I am fortunate to have him as my Dads neighbor.  He is old school and knows what its like to honor our older generation.

Great pics Bone, you horse and mule guys bare with me because I really do not know anything about horses or mules. Every time I see a picure of a mule the look like they are plotting something against you. Look at the second pic "coming off the mountain" if that is not a sh&t eatin grin I do not know what is, LOL.

As a matter of fact Ole Gordy is 82 today, he is healing up from getting his wore out hip replacement replaced again.  Steve and I trade back and forth all the time, right now he has my mule and I have three of his horses, one mare will be foaling  in a few days.

Alchase, a mule will always be watching you even if your a long ways away.
