@MCDuncanLab my BIL goes back home to Montana to fish all the time; I’ve only ever caught pan fish from small boats and piers. That sounds very excellent to be off in the forest or field.

Every so often I visit a swimming hole in the Sierra, deep in a state park, with the family. When we get there, it’s popular enough that other people will be swimming and fishing there. Amazing trout, for all that.

Imagining that, but quiet, sounds fantastic

@MCDuncanLab @WizardOfDocs no need to! Just commenting along; no request for changes.

I really enjoyed reading this. I’ve driven past a raging forest fire with my family in the car, and I can picture this. And the dust and ashes. Well told, thank you for sharing

@MCDuncanLab my daughter has moved to Montana to fight fires this season, and she is amazed at how many folks are into fishing trout

@MCDuncanLab @WizardOfDocs my daughter’s college roommate worked with cows, on a federal science project to reduce their farts with seaweed. She had to move stuff in and out of them.
