In preparation for a few local ATV rides, I replaced the safety chains on the ATV trailer. The old chains weren't in good shape. A carabiner was holding one chain together and the spring on the hook on the other chain wasn't springing. Bearings repacked, brakes adjusted, lights checked. Ready to go. Fishing trip this week will use the RV. No ATVs are allowed on the roads around the reservoir.
The ATV trailer was used to transport 16'x5' Horse Panels (6 gauge wire in a 2"x4" grid) from the farm and ranch store to home. I need a longer trailer!
The horse panels were cut in half length-wise to use as a grid on these shelve that I finished this week. The new house has very little storage. A lot of my tools are still in boxes. Any project requires 15 minutes of searching boxes to find the one that has what I need. The "shelves" the prior owner put up are wimpy and probably can't hold more than 10 lbs.
Fishing south of Casper the last few days. It's been slow, but the few fish I've caught have been keepers.
19" and fat. This is the smaller one. Waiting on pictures of the larger one.
Similar markings to a snake that was hanging around where I was fishing. The one in the picture was on the road (dead, of course).
I have to break camp somewhat early tomorrow to beat the snow storm that's coming Sunday evening. Thirteen guys at fish camp this year, seven camping and six at a motel. Dinners and most of the breakfasts were at the boondocking site.
Nice fish Jim. Wyoming is a pretty great state; but this is getting way too late for snow storms!! Big reason I am not living there!!
That snake was one of the good ones. Too bad for it. ( Snakes are one thing that I can not tell if it is a boy or girl; therefore an “it” )
Scurry out before Mama Nature throws her fit a bit early!
I got home well before the storm decided to drop precipitation. It was windy though. The new Blue Ox WDH did a great job controlling the sway. If it wasn't for the poor 7.2 MPG I might not have known how bad the wind was blowing. Love the 6.7L diesel! I dumped the tanks when I fueled up in Casper, but I still need to purge the water heater and the lines.
A couple of us tried night fishing. I caught one early on so we thought we were onto something. 45 minutes later, not another bite and it was so dark we couldn't see enough to know where we were casting, so we called it a night. We'll be better prepared next time with headlamps and stronger lanterns.
Final fish picture of the trip. At 21.5", this was the largest fish anyone caught. Nobody had a scale so I have no idea how much it weighed.
So just for the fun of it, was that at Alcova, Pathfinder or ?????????
Somewhere between the two.
The night fishing was at Alcova. We also fished Gray Reef during the day but got skunked there. The level of Pathfinder is way down. I heard that they lowered the level of Pathfinder to bring the level of Alcova up.
Overnight camping spot a couple of miles off I-90 in MT and close enough to the Yellowstone River that it will lull me to sleep. There are a few defined camp sites here but I didn't use them, leaving them for people that will be here longer than just a night.
First time out for my new gimbal mount to be used with the Starlink Mini and a tripod that I've had for 40 years. The gimbal made aligning the Mini a lot easier.
