Don’t Leave For the Chandeleurs Without It.  I won’t!  I’m Off!!!

******************

Sorry you have not heard from me in a while, but while on the 4 day Wolf Tracking Tour this took a big back seat.  I can not even begin to remotely do it justice in one report.  So here is a quick highlights that I will get to as soon as I get back.  Wolf/grizzly confrontation, Wolf pack attacking another wolf in the pack,  (The most incredible thing I have ever seen in the outdoors, even the pros were amazed.), packs of wolves, grizzlies, Big Horn sheep, mountain goasts, bison, eagles, coyotes, elk, and a host of others.  And the characters and players we met only added to the trip.  Suffice to say it is a big story and one I want to not only put in words but to remember for a lifetime.  So here is quick taste.

We left Boseman Mt and flew to Denver on Friday after the park.  We got there around noon for our flight at 3:00, boarded on time, all good, home Friday.  Which gives me a day to get ready before heading to the Chandeleurs.  But like all plans there was a hitch.

We take off for Austin not having a clue about Austin’s weather yesterday, but apparently our pilot knew it was an issue as he took on a little more fuel because we might have to divert some or circle when we get there.  Around an hour in flight we did something that has never happened to us flying anywhere in the world – We turn around and head back to Denver.  Huh?  The weather was to high and rough over Austin, so then we have to circle for an hour to burn off the excess fuel as we are to heavy.  So after over 10 hours in the airport we are not going anywhere.  So as it was an act of God tough luck, they did give us a voucher for 1/2 off at a motel and took us there, so it was what it was.  And we did not crash, a good thing.

Of  course the real consequence, it is 8:30 Saturday night and we just got home as I type this.  I am finishing the packing and will turn and burn at 5:30 in the morning for Biloxi.  It would be nice to have had that extra day, but trust me, when I take off in the morning the weariness will disappear, with visions of big trout and reds pushing the 4 Runner all the way to Biloxi to meet the boys.

Of course that means no internet so there will not be a report until probably Friday, but then there will be several in a row to adequately tell the story that is running through my mind as I write this.  Words will not adequately detail the wolf tracking but I will try, truly a fantastic experience.  And doing it with literally some of the best biologist and wolf experts in the world was so far beyond my expectations.  We met and learned from emmy winning videographers and photographers who work with National Geographic tv and magazine, BBC, and on and on.  As you can tell it pains me to stop, but I have to get my stuff together.  So don’t desert me, I am on a great adventure and I want to do it all justice.  And I will get to your comments and questions, i have not forgot.  So keep stopping in and thanks for reading my stuff.

Good Luck and Tight Lines
