For whatever reason I have a hard time driving slow. Even if I'm not in a hurry I just can't bring myself to do it. So to make the story short: speeding, an expired license, an out-dated proof of insurance AND registration card warranted me a responsible driver of the year award. The officer awarded me a $100+ prize and I was on my way.
As I winded through the last few miles the anticipation grew. I drove accross the dam and almost felt intimidated. Would this large river just dominate me? I stopped for a pic and rolled on to Dutch John to find my parking spot for the night. All I have to say about Dutch John is that it seemed a whole lot bigger on google maps.
I slept like a baby and woke up stoked as stoked. I ate "breakfast" and wadered up and made the short drive down to the base of the dam. The weather was pleasant and it looked like I was in for a beauty of a day. I started the hike down and my stoke level grew 10x when I caught my first glimpse of the river down below. Two bald eagles cruised over the river below. Radical. It was everything I'd imagined.
When I got down to the water I couldn't decide where to go. I was all alone and the site of all those fish was too much for my fish-hungry eyes. I spent the next little bit just walking and simply checking out all freaking fish. So sweet.more to come................i wanna talk about new trips
