Well, I guess crappy internet inspires me to update a bit more!! LOL But please Dear Reader, don’t get to used to it :) We have parked at a spot right on Prairie Creek, outside of Rocky Mountain House. We spent a week at Peppers Lake and then moved on to Prairie Creek campground. While we were out scouting fishing holes we came across this cutline that runs right up to the creek. Needless to say, we only spent a couple nights at the campground and moved here. The creek runs about 20 yards from the trailer... ahh heaven!! So, I hope the fishing here is better than the internet! But at least I can get this posted and you can see where we are at for now and maybe if anyone is out adventuring you’ll know where to find us!
So, again I bid you good morning, good afternoon or good night! Still missing you Dear Reader and hope to see you soon! *hugs*

Hello again Dear Reader. Well, I am typing this up at Peppers Lake, another little trout lake off the forestry trunk road. We decided to leave Big Horn Dam on Sunday the 8th. With no decent fishing near enough ‘somebody’ was getting bored lol.
On the 7th the family of Jeremy Der, the young man that drowned there, finally got the closure they needed. The search team found his body midday and the family was busy packing up on Sunday. I’m sure it must have been a huge relief to be able to close that chapter and move on. A huge congrats from us to the search and rescue peeps from CASDDA http://www.casdda.com/ An amazing group of volunteers that were the ones who finally made the find.
So, off we trundled to this little nook of the land. The lake itself seems quite nice. I haven’t gotten down to throw my hook at it yet. Gary has been down as much as he can, weather permitting of course. I think Mother Nature has it in for him hehe. We have had more rain this last week than we have in ages!! The campground here is nice, unfortunately we can’t fit in it! We are parked in the overflow area which is also the horse staging site. Not a problem! It’s a huge meadow nestled amongst the trees with a creek about 100 meters ‘over there’. I’ve toured all the old quad and horse trails a few times but have to be a bit more cautious now. Two days ago we had a huge grizzly come visit the area. We watched him strolling around pawing at the ground and generally looking HUGE! He didn’t come right to the site but was close enough that we tried to shoo him away with the air horn. He didn’t care what we wanted or did, he just sauntered around then moseyed off. Jack was happy that he showed up as he now gets to sleep inside for a bit. Sadly in the excitement of seeing this rare beast we totally forgot to get pictures (I know, you’re thinking I prolly wouldn’t post them anyway lol). we’ve also been graced by deer most mornings as well. It’s so quiet here that I swear you can hear them breathe!
So, since we aren’t near the lake again, we have been looking at moving on sometime soon. Hopefully with internet service so I can post this for you. For now then Dear Reader I sign off. Love and miss you as always, *hugs*
