You were in ski country too! I've always said, I would like to retire in a place were I could ski, golf and fly fish.....sounds like you found such a place! Safe travels home and say hello to Ann!

We fish a lot here in N.E. Iowa (you should try it, we will take you out to some fine wild trout water) and out west. Our one fear is that--from searching for info on the web--there is too much pressure. We will have come that far, spent that much, and regret the experience. We don't expect fish on every cast, since we have fished steelhead on the Clearwater in Idaho, and Wi and MI streams. But we also don't want to try for fish that have scarred up mouths as I have heard some say, from being caught over and over. So just a request if you have time to chat. We are flexible in our time that we can travel. My email is stevematter@gmail.com.

Humans do tend to muck up ecosystems...then figure out how to profit from the wreckage...<br /><br />But it seems to me that We Along Lake Erie have not made a sufficient political stink over the economic consequences of a massive Asian carp-like invasion. Fishing and water sports are a multi-billion dollar Ohio industry...and finding a way to recruit those who might be affected by such an influx...both from a business standpoint and from a quality of life standpoint (more boats in Ohio than anywhere else except Florida?) could popularize the issue. <br /><br />Then again, in the game of Chicago politics vs. Cleveland/Ohio politics...Chicago wins...John J.

I can assure you the Bison are still around. Check out Anne's pics on Facebook. We went toe-to-toe with a Bison in the rental car. Thankfully Anne won the face off. <br /><br />The Cinnamon Lodge brought back memories of the Trestle Inn. We were there last Saturday, so just one week apart. Someday we'll return.

The food was great and the ambiance was incredible. That was 1992 however so may be it sucks now. The best part is that a buffalo herd was grazing in the yard of the hotel and one buffalo was literally blocking the main doorway!<br /> P.S. I thought of YOU Saturday when the family ate at the Trestle INN! But instead of dirty movies upstairs we watched the Twins beat the Tigers in the main floor. The Trestle Burger is still great! We were on our annual fall color tour but a little too early for peak maples this year.<br /> It's been 70s every day all month.<br /> Take care!Wild Thinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02759037144708350288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797749963124909597.post-81421762271840715942009-09-20T18:57:29.195-07:002009-09-20T18:57:29.195-07:00The quality/price of the restaurant food within th...The quality/price of the restaurant food within the park is a sad state affairs, especially for a place as magnificent as Yellowstone.

It's a bit tacky, but everyday people stand next to them and have their pictures taken which I like.<br /><br />I do understand how the town looks. In a way the lack-of-pretense gives it a bit of family-oriented charm.
