GART Day 6 - Fly Fishing and Horseback Riding

The Great American Road Trip - Day 6, Tuesday, July 7, 2009

'THE FISH WERE BITING, BUT SO WERE THE HORSES'

We set the kids up at fly fishing school with Gallatin River Guides. It was a one hour class on a stocked pond off of the Gallatin River.

Learning to cast on land.
Hard work pays off!

Casting on her own.


Whoa! That fish is as big as she is!!!
It took our little gal about an hour to land
this rainbow trout, she and the guide were
very patient to get her a great trophy pic!


MONTANA ON HORSEBACK
This is probably one of my favorite
pics from this vacation so far

I think he is charging the British.
The fishing went great, horseback riding not so much. The kids did great on the horses in the corral, but were a little intimidated by the up and down trail and feeling good control on the horses. Maybe next time.

WOW! What an amazing trip - the kids are getting to see so much. That is absolutely gorgeous country.

We took a trip out west (west from Indiana) when I was 12/13. My little brother was just three but we got to spend two weeks driving around in a little mini camper-van, staying in all the rv parks. It was awesome!We saw all the national parks and saw breathtaking scenery! We went on to Boise where my Uncle lives. It was definitely a trip I would love to take again!!

Horses, bears, fly fishing, swimming with snow in the background...what more could a kid ask for?!

It is awesome that you got to go back and see all the places you grew up! Neat, neat, neat!!

Sounds to me like you guys can write a book now on where to go and where not to or the title could be "The Grizwald way to Vacation".
The kids look like they are having lots of fun.
