The coffee clutch gathered at our picnic table this morning. After the pot was emptied we decided to go into Fort Smith to a little "green" place (no name) that Richard told us about. He said they had great burritos. He was right! So a breakfast burrito and 2 chai's later we were ready to fish again.
We picked up some "hoppers" (flies) at another fly shop. There are 3 in town, oh yes town consists of about 6 buildings. We waded the shoreline for a couple hours, and Ken asked me a strange question - "What day is today?". I said I didn't know (I'm retired now...). Bob stopped by to fish about 2:30 and Ken checked with him and Bob said it was Aug 7... (OHOH)... we have been fishing illegally all day! Our license ran out at midnight Aug 6! We packed up quickly - Ken had a hit and I had a bite - but we left.
Another campfire and cocktails with Bob & Barb. They invited us to join them in Idaho next year for their annual trip to Hells Canyon (jet boating). We are going to try and make it the year after next because of our plans for Alaska next year. Everyone at camp showed up at the fire. It was our last night so we exchanged addresses with everyone. We will miss this group, but the weekenders were arriving and it was time to go.
If we hadn't gone exploring 4 days ago we would have never found this wonderful place or made new friends. Bighorn Canyon will be a highlight of our trip. What a special stop!
