47 degrees in Dubois, WY

Arrived in Dubois Thursday afternoon after spending the evening in Riverton with my Army buddy Tom Powell.
Nice trip down the Wind River Canyon
Pretty scary tunnel, we need 13' clearance and this tunnel is 14' clearance 

Camped on the Wind River near Dubois.
Hoping to fish here but the river is running high and muddy don't know how long this will last. Hoping Tom comes up from Riverton to take us up in the mountains Brook Trout fishing.

Cutthroat Trout and Rattlesnakes !



So we start catching some fish today and Dave walks right into a Rattlesnake!
Hears the rattle and holy moley there's the snake. Luckily it took off in the opposite direction.

Fish of the day was 18" Cutthroat about 5 miles east of Yellowstone on the North Fork of the Shoshone River



A real bonus today, a female Bighorn Sheep with a lamb right beside the road.

Fishing the Lamar River tomorrow in Yellowstone.
