The first time in the twelve years I've lived in ID that I won't be having a Grouse camp.

My favorite spot over on the Selway's closed so I thought about going up on the St Jo where I went last year but it's closed too.

There's even a fire down by McCall where I go for Rock Chucks in the spring. No telling what that'll look like next year.

I did manage to get out to one of my local areas yesterday. Got two Ruffs before my old GSP gassed on me.That's better than nothing but I'm still going to miss the camp. That's half the fun.

Damned fires.
