We had originally planned to head up to Montana and go fishing this weekend on the Big Hole River after meeting my parents up there. It's still winter here in Jackson, so, those plans were dashed and we stayed close to home instead. This was our first weekend in Jackson in 6 weeks. In that time we were lucky enough to hang out in Sun Valley, Zion National Park, Lake Tahoe, Santa Barbara, Denver, and San Francisco.
Despite the crappy weather, it was nice being home for a change on the weekend.
The shot above is the latest purchase in the Robinson LLC fun club. Luckily my Dad values time on the river as much or more as I do, so, we went in on this new (used cataraft together). She is a beauty!
Teddy, happy to be floating in the snow on May 22nd?
Me at the helm of the new craft. Thing of beauty, she rowed like a dream. Can't wait to be hanging on it this summer minus the hat, long johns, vest, hoodie, gloves, and down jacket!
We tagged team with Brock, Jason, and Paul. At least we weren't alone in suffering amidst the raging blizzard.
The guy we bought the raft from was nice enough to give us these old wooden oars that were in pretty beat up shape. I belt sanded them, and then put 8 coats of marine level spar varnish to them and wallah, a beautifully restored wooden oar.
Ahh, Spring Time in Jackson, gotta love it.
