Fast forward a few hours later at breakfast, we were talking about the fishing, and a guy at the next table goes "Excuse me, I just overheard you talking about fishing, was that you on the rocks this morning?" I said yeah that was us and he said I've got a great photo of you and your son, give me your email and I'll send it to you....

Popped a doe with my muzzle loader Saturday morning. Going back in the morning and rifle season opens here in Georgia Saturday. The temps are supposed to drop in the morning too. I love this time of year.

Last weekend the Mrs and I and the kids flew out to Phoenix, AZ for our nephew's bar mitzvah. The kids hadn't ever been to the Southwest before and they wanted to get out of the city and see the desert. So we spent last Friday driving all 45 miles of the Apache Trail through the Superstition Mountains up to Roosevelt Dam. The final 22 miles of the Trail is unpaved dirt road. Beautiful rugged country, really fun driving, and a great day.

Last weekend at DBT Homecoming in Athens, Pearlbeer (Mat) and his buddy Kasey, who are from Austin, had arranged an afternoon of fly fishing and they were nice enough to ask me to come along. So Friday around 11am, we picked up some beers and sandwiches and drove on up to Helen, GA which is in the mountains about 60 miles north of Athens along the Chattahoochee River. We met up with our guide and geared up and hit the stream for about 4 hours. The weather was absolutely beautiful (70 and sunny) and so were the rainbow trout. The river was narrow but there were some cold, deep pools that held some absolutely huge fucking fish. It had been a few years since I last fly fished, so it took a little while to get the hang of it - but in the end I had netted 5 or 6 trout and they were the biggest freshwater fish I've ever caught (check out Kasey's monster below). We were back in Athens in time for dinner and then late night rock show with the Truckers in the Fabulous 40 Watt. Thank you Mat and Kasey for letting me tag along on your fishing trip, it was a really great day. Trucker fans are the best.

What a great day. An amazing day fishing and the Rock Show on top of it. Awesome.

One night as we were standing in line at the 40 Watt looking at the line of DBT fans waiting to get in the door...which just looked like a mass of facial hair and flannel, and smelled like a Frat party.....we had a discussion, that we were quite possibly observing a most interesting and rare Vin-Diagram.

Awesome! I love the North Georgia mountains. I get up there a good bit but nearly as often as I want to. Me and a buddy are planning a trout fishing and camping trip right now. Looks like y'all had fun.

We were lucky enough to land in Utah 36 hr before Park City got 12" of snow. Fabulous time skiing in conditions I rarely see back east.

No pics right now but I just got back from Denver > Breckenridge > Telluride > Moab > Leadville > Denver.

Two of my three brothers have relocated to SoCal in the last few years. We'd probably get to see them and the Pacific a hell of a lot more than we ever see the Atlantic.

Would put the fam in Idaho and Alaska and friends in AZ within striking distance too.

The grass is rarely greener. But I like to stay on top of my options.

Telluride is the most stunning place I've been.

Did you get to Moab Brewing? A delightful surprise in the Polygamy State.

I've been to telluride and you are correct, it is stunning. My "most stunning" would probably be Monument Valley though.

Drove right past it. We were headed to the Lasal mountains above Moab and unfortunately I didn't have time to stop. I was performing a wedding ceremony for the first time the next day and doing some last minute freak out that I wasn't properly prepared.

I did manage to stop at a grocery store and discover that the big breweries do actually produce 3.2% to sell in Utah. All your normal Budweisers and Coronas and whatever sitting on the shelf with 3.2% stamped on the box.

Got to hang out around town quite a bit and was struck by how many people around me were obviously neighbors and seemed like fairly normal, middle class folks. Seems like a nice and pretty normal little community. I'm just not sure how normal seeming folks afford to live in that resort economy.

Minnesota (if you're in a grocery store or gas station) and Oklahoma have 3.2 beer as well. There's probably others.
