Right now it's raining like crazy, and we're wondering how it will be tomorrow evening this time when we have tickets for the Michael Martin Murphy concert, open air venue. Hope it's not like this! I may take my bright yellow Goretex rainjacket with hood, got it for ATVing, but it may come in handy for other events.

Sat. evening we had a very nice evening with Will Quinn, our young fly fisherman friend. Hungarian goulash, noodles and corn filled us all. Turns out Will is going to be at Prescott, AZ next year for his next year of pilot training. Needless to say, we've invited him to spend some time with us, as much as he can spare. He is indeed an extraordinary young man.

Sunday was a lazy day, I started on a new blog to document our Danube River cruise adventure. Will let you know when it's far enough along to take a look. We did take a walk into town in the morning, and in the afternoon went to the gym at the Armory for some dedicated exercise. It's even more important, with the type of activities we enjoy up here, to keep the legs strong. I find many reasons to SQUAT, mostly at 10,000+ ft. elevation, only one of which is to take photos of the lovely wildflowers, and getting up from that position isn't always easy!

Today we set off early (7:21 am) for Powderhorn Creek, a spot Will has recommended for fly fishing. E wanted to find it and see if it's somewhere he and E. Hovasse can go in late July.

We found it...at the end of a 10-mile 4 wheel drive road, just as Will described it. The drive was rough, but beautiful. Evidence in the next segment. We decided this would be a great ATV ride. We had our lunch at the parking area marking the trailhead, it was so quiet and peaceful, though there were 2 other vehicles parked there, not a sign or sound of humans. We walked down the slope to where we could see the creek, but I wasn't equipped with boots to hike down further; we're very cautious about climbing around on rocks these days.

Tonight we've enjoyed left over goulash and a quiet evening. Tomorrow we'll try fishing again at San Cristobal lake. Good luck!
