A Day on the Big Hole

"Listen to the sound of the river and you will get a trout."  ~Irish proverb

 

Jared made it to Montana! We were excited to have a visitor.

Bare and Bret introduced Jared to the Big Hole River,

and they enjoyed a day on the water.

 

"It is not a fish until it is on the bank."

 

Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest

"The farther one gets into the wilderness, the greater is the attraction of its lonely freedom."

Theodore Roosevelt

 

Bare and I left the Ruby River Rendezvous and

took a drive through the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest. 

Definitely, one of the best days we've had in Montana!

We drove and drove and drove and drove.

We probably only saw five people the entire five hours we were in the forest.

But the animals were out.

It was beautiful day.

As D.J. said, "It's like my personal Yellowstone with no traffic or people."
