and Marek at Red Lodge were excellent hosts. Despite Marek only being a beginner fly fisher, he and his family looked after
me brilliantly. I love them both and Cameron and Chloe are
my favourite children. I hope their start at school has been
good fun. I didn’t bother to go to Jackson Hole and
the lower Snake as the tourist traffic was enormous in this
area.
Three
million people enter the park in August and the crowds are
unbearable. When we go back next year, it will be at the end
in July and we will take the trip up
the Bitch Creek over the Tetons to Jackson and back up to
the north east entrance. |

days of bliss all came to an end the next day I caught
the plane from Billings to Denver and then to San Francisco to Sydney
to Melbourne. If you are interested in joining a party to
do a similar trip next year, then give us a call!
This has
been a necessarily brief extract from my diary. There were
dozens of funny and interesting incidents I don’t have
time to recount here. Above all I was inspired by the rivers
and the landscape and as a result I feel a more complete person.

is definitely a “thing to do before you die” and
we look forward to showing others who may be able to get away
during our winter (July) next year. I have researched the
best of the region, and believe me, it is fantastic. I crossed
the Yellowstone for the last time on the way to the airport.
I arrived home on opening day. Maybe some more later.
