The fishing slowed down and I had just mowed the lawn so I jumped in the truck last week to go see a friend. There is sure some pretty country out West and some cool history.

Good looking country. Montana?

That last photo looks alot like hole in the wall country.

Nice...

Who is the fat guy with a belly in the picture? Or is that a wardrobe mistake?

Nice pic,,,,except for the one of you,,,,,
You need to take my seminar…….

These were all around Lander, WY.

Brother Vinke, there were no fatties allowed on this trip.

So you finished mowing the lawn, jumped in the truck and buggered off to Wyoming? I like it!….lol

Pretty much. I looked at my calendar Thursday and didn't have anything going on for a week so I just took off. I hit the Cody gun show on the way out, spent a few days with a friend and then hit gun shops on the way home. We fished a few different, out of the way places and checked out some old gold mining towns. No agenda, no tourist stuff.

That’s the way to do it. I’m going to try and hit up Cody next time I’m in that direction, not sure if I’ll have time. Sorta planning on going to Montanas rendezvous, probably be a spur of the moment thing.

I was thinking the last two pics looked like the south pass and red canyon area..

What was the deal with those log cabins?

Looks like you found Fort Stambaugh by Atlantic City.

Dale, you are spot on!




Those were mining cabins that were abandoned in the late 1800's.




I found a little beaver pond in that area. I lost one GOOD trout and saw another but never landed one there.

Looks like a good area to go for a get away.

Should've humped a metal detector into that area, bet you would've found some interesting things around those cabins.

I stumbled onto one in Colorado on national Forest land and it had an old cook stove and bed in it, I figured it was a line shack .
It was dug into a bank and they just had to build the front and roof with logs.

Found an old cow bell and branding iron nearby.

South Pass area? Got family that lives in Pavillion 20 miles north of Lander.

That's awesome.

… nice looking country for sure

While you were in downtown Miners Delight did you belly up to the bar and toss down a shot or two? Did you make down to the Sweetwater river and catch a few Brown's? If not you need a better guide!
