Madison River - Flyfishing Trip

Gary went fishing with John, who is a guide at Slide Inn.  The trip was a lot of fun and Gary caught a lot of fish.  The largest was an 18-1/2" brown trout.  Gary mainly worked on streamer fishing which uses big hair flies. What a wonderful way to end a great flyfishing trip.

Norris Geyser Basin - Yellowstone National Park

We hike around the Porcelain Basin and Back Basin (about 2 miles).  We had a beautiful sunny and warm day for the hike.  On the way home from West Yellowstone we saw a badger crossing the road.
