The Plan

It dawned on me that it might be a good idea to post what I'm planning on doing on this trip.

I'll be gone for 11 days, 6 of them evolving distance travel. I'll cover 3500 miles and well over 30hrs of road.

Day 1 - Work till 6pm and drive to Abilene, TX (about 4 hrs)

Day 2 - Drive from Abilene to Denver, CO (about 11 hrs)

Day 3 - Drive from Denver, CO to Casper, WY (about 6hrs). Arrive around noon and spend the rest of the day fishing the North Platte River.

Day 4 - Driver from Casper, WY through the Teton and Yellowstone Parks and be in Pray, MT around dinner time. If there is enough light try to fish the blue ribbon 6 Mile Creek.

Day 5 - Fish somewhere in Paradise Valley all day (probably the Yellowstone).

Day 6 - Fish historic Armstrong Creek all day.

Day 7 - Float Fish the Yellowstone River with Jessica and Kate. Moved to friday due to Mudslide

Day 8 - Fish somewhere in Yellowstone National Park all day (Happy Birthday to Me!!!).

Day 9 - Check out of the cabin and head to the Bunnery in Jackson, WY for brunch (thanks for the tip Mike). Try to fish somewhere for an hour or two in the park. End the day in Rock Springs, WY.

Day 10 - Drive from Rock Springs, WY to Clovis, NM. (About 12hrs)

Day 11 - Drive from Clovis, NM to home.

So, that’s the plan. Hope it all works out because that is a lot of driving 4 1/2 days fishing. Maybe one day I will find a friend who likes fly fishing as much as I do and they can split the driving. And the Bill… But mostly the driving.
