Less than a month until my next trip to the Driftless. To say I'm excited is a bit of an understatement. With the way this winter is hanging on across the country, I'm guessing it's going to be cold, but that's okay, I still own jackets, wool socks, and such... I'm not that
"Florida" yet.
As of tonight, all of the arrangments are made - plane, car, lodging - now it's just time to wrangle some gear and pack my bags. I plan to travel light on that front. Just a rod or two, a few small boxes of flies, some lines and tippet, and a fishing backpack to carry it all. Oh, and maybe some extra batteries for the camera, I'd like to take some video.
One of the reasons why I'm going to the Driftless is the
Midwest Tenkara Fest, so I have a feeling if I forget something, I'll be able to pick up missing odds and ends locally... along with a
Spotted Cow or three...
In the meantime, the countdown begins. Maybe a few nights at the vise between now and then…
LOVE IT!

ReplyDelete(in a constitution era accent)* There are but two great truths of this wondrous nation. One is that of liberty. Righteous as it is, is is second to the beauty of strip-setting into a fatty brown with a kype the size of Oklahoma's panhandle. Amen.
