1st Full Day

     So the First full day on the road is at an end sadly but I am sure there will be many more great days like this. We are starting our Journey in Gunnison or Almont Colorado with my dad and Cyndi so we can all get some fishing in before the big Full Time Families Rally in Montrose on July 3rd. We Drove up from Franktown yesterday and Today we were able to get some great fishing in on the Taylor River as well as spending time at Taylor Reservoir. We started our day with a fun photo before we set off to fish just down from the 5th Wheel.


     As you can see we are quite ready to begin although I think Jacob has been drinking already. Next you see Jacob and Aiden with their fish, They reeled them in While dad and I did the hard work of getting them to take a fly.




     After a few fish here we moved out to Taylor Reservoir up the canyon about 45 minutes and let the dogs run wild. I have to say I was a little hesitant to bring the dogs along even though they are part of the family but all three proved they are up for the adventure. Getting them to go to the bathroom on command before bed is a pain in the rear but we will get it figured out.




     The day was amazing and this adventure is going to be a once in a life time for the boys. If the first days photo gallery is any indication how this year is going to go, I am going to need a bigger storage drive just for photos since Laura 135 and 4 videos. Everyone knows she hates birds yet she decided to take several pictures of one crow.


                                   Nice crow Laura!!! maybe it will fly in your hair next time!

     So for everyone wondering about the plan for the first leg of this voyage this is the plan. We leave Almont on Friday, head to Taylor Reservoir for 3 days then on to a campground on Blue Mesa Reservoir just down the road and on to Montrose. From there we head to Utah, Idaho and in to Missoula Montana to visit Laura's Parents. We leave Missoula on July 16th and make a big push for Minnesota staying in Walmart and Cabela's parking lots along the way. After a few days in Minnesota, we head on into Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana over to New York and land in Massachusetts for a bit to work at a KOA. We will keep you all posted and update the plan as we figure it out.
