This has made it a bit difficult for me to post this week, since much of my time has been spent working.
However, I've had some time to experience Cody from a different perspective than a total tourist, which I will become tomorrow. Among other things, this means I shot a gun sponsored by a Wyoming-made company at the Cody Shooting Complex, and spent all day today fishing on the Clark's Fork of the Yellowstone River, which was guided by Tim Wade's North Fork Anglers. I have to brag here - I was the first or second of two fisherman to catch a fish - a Yellowstone Cut-throat, to be exact.
My pride is tempered, however, by the fact that I was also one of the first two people to fall in the river. I’m going to blame this on the boots the fishing shop rents...or…maybe I should have just crossed in a different part of the stream, who knows?
And really, to humble myself even more, I guess I should share (TMI?) that I also tinkled without provisions off a log. This was before falling in the river, and well before learning there were napkins in our guide's truck. This knowledge was a little annoying, but oddly a relief at the same time, because now I could drink fluids again while out there.
So, tomorrow begins my first real day of explore Cody. I will keep you updated with posts and pics as the days go on.
Preliminarily speaking, however, Cody is awesome.
More to come...!
Oh, that sounds like so much fun, Kimberly, even the falling in the river, which I know isn't too deep. Have fun at Yellowstone, and take lots of pictures. Watch out for the bear and mountain lion, though. I would love to catch a trout in the mountain stream. I miss being out there in the mountains! It sounds like it's been a great week, even though it was work.
