Today was my final day of fishing. The final fish count was 164 plus the large Brown. Less then 301 I got 2 years ago. I enjoyed the fishing and Jean read a much of books.

San Juan River – Cottonwood Campground – Friday September 24, 2021
I have been catching a lot of fish in the 10 to 13 inch range. First part of this week I changed to a 3 weight rod and 7X tippet. 3 weight rods are smaller fish and 7X tippet is 2.6 lbs leader.
Today I got a large brown trout, 18 plus inches. With this light rod and tippet it took me an hour and 10 minutes to get this fish to the net.
After 50 minutes I was lucky enough to have another fisher person come by to take some pictures.

Orovanda, NV – Wednesday September 8, 2021
Another travel day, 201 miles.
We are at a rest stop 2 miles south of Orovanda, NV. The area is not marked with parking spots so I pulled up along the outside corner so we can put the bedroom slide out to night. It is hot and we are running the air conditioners. The rear coach storage bay is 105.
It is smokey here as is most of Oregon, Idaho, Montana and norther California.
Ontario, OR – Tuesday September 7, 2021
Another travel day.
We spent 3 hours this afternoon at Hilgard State Park on I-84 coming out of the Blue Mountains. Only had a 5 hour drive so we spent some time up in the mountains where it was cooler then the 98 degrees it was going to be here in Ontario. We stayed in the day use area which has a circular turn around at the far end of the park. The challenge with the turn around is it had a tree leaning out high over the road which I thought might hit the coach. I decided it was better to unhook the pick-up than chance damaging the coach. Second time I have had to unhook the tow to turn around. The “Motorhome 100000 M” is from a previous trip through, currently at 134,000 miles.
Our view tonight.
After we pulled into the rest stop I took Marley out for a pee and then reached into the refrigerator for a Bud Light.
I found out that Pepsi and Bud Light cans are almost the same color.
