Kansans Travel To Mountain Lake: Catch 50 Fish

Travis, Joe, Rome and I hiked into the Gallatin Range this past week for a little fishing. The lake we chose turned out to be a hidden gem. Everybody had a fish by the third cast, and dinner that night was a bountiful feast. We caught around 50 cutthroats in all, ate 10, and sent 7 back to the midwest in a frozen zip-lock tomb. If you want to know the name of the lake, you will have to pay us a finders fee or submit a bribe.

We Need More Visitors!

Our summer has been filled with friends and family for a steady month now. Kelly kicked things off in June, and then Nick joined in just in time for the 4th of July. Molly's parents arrived the following week and enjoyed a night at the cabin, a night at Chico hotsprings, and two nights in Bozeman before leaving last Saturday. My sister arrived that same day and brought along the entire Epperson clan. We had beers and bluegrass on Monday and another great dinner at Montana Ale Works. She is leaving this Saturday: just in time for Joe, Travis and Rome to arrive. And we still are expecting Molly's cousins in late July and my parents in early August. Whew! We've been busy but it's been great to see everybody! Start planning for the summer of 2010 now.

Moose is 2 years old today

Wayside Waifs probably lied, but according to them Moose was born on 7/7/07, making him a lucky dog. So far he's been worth keeping and this photo montage tells the rest.
