Greetings from beautiful Ennis, Montana! This morning we gathered everyone here in Ennis, the trout capital of North America. Situated between the Gallatin and Big Sky Mountain Ranges, these breathtaking views are giving everyone an early feel for the proud landscape of the American West in which we will soon be immersed. We will return here to the Madison River Valley near the end of our trip, but our focus today was on preparations for the beginning of our trip tomorrow in Yellowstone National Park.
Upon our arrival, we reviewed tent setup, fly casting, and knot tying- all skills that will be necessary, and certainly developed, over the next two weeks! Between games of spike ball and ultimate frisbee, we cooked a delicious dinner of cheeseburgers and fresh corn. Soon the sun enveloped the western horizon, and the crystalline Montana blue sky melded into a twilight. We all retired to our tents with high hopes for the days to come. The morning will find us traveling into Yellowstone, where we will begin our first backcountry adventure to Grebe Lake and the Cascade River.
The next update will come in a few days time. Tight lines until then,
Will and Drew
