Didn't really think I'd be back in WA chasing steelhead. After my trip two years ago I was kind of over it. However, with the recent opening I really couldnt' pass this up. To start, I want to say thanks to several folks:
Jamie was kind enough to offer me a place to crash. Not only is this extremely generous but also very helpful. There ain't a hotel room to be had in the valley and I was kind of in a pinch. Man I can't thank you enough.
Salmo has offered up a seat in his sled for a couple of days and arranged our film crew. I think he wants to work on his swagger so he's letting me tag along.
@Chris Scoones for WFF. Without the site, I would've never met either and this trip would not be happening. Thanks for making this place a decent spot to hang.
OS for helping getting the river open. Great job and if I see any of you on the water, Sugar Free Red Bull on me.
Now Day 1
It was a full day. Like most, it started with an early sesh at the gym. Don't wish for it, work for it! Dane, Sean, Zac and co. Love you guys.
Next, down to the shop to grab some last minute supplies.
Then it was off to the airport to see my friends at Alaska.
Just an absolute beautiful day for a flight
Landed then headed north right in the middle of rush hour. I don't see how y'all deal with that traffic. Brutal.
But made it to Mt Vernon for dinner at the brew pub. Never eaten here but any place with oars as door handles is my kind of spot. Good fish tacos.
Ready to get after it tomorrow.
