Here are some "friends" that we made around Slough Creek. We saw the pronghorn family most of the mornings. The black bear and her cub came to visit as we were packing up camp. I can see why teddy bears are so popular. It's always nice to see bears when you can easily get into your car for safety. (For the record, this is no the pronghorn that tried to commit suicide by van. It's a good thing they are fast.)

Slough Creek is probably my favorite place to fish.  It's sight-fishing with dry flies for native cutthroats.  How can you beat that?  Oh, and some of them are rather large.

We didn't run into an epic grasshopper day like last time, but we did catch quite a few nice fish.  The camerawoman even got into the action.  After some frustrating misses and small fish, she finally caught a really nice fish.  And then another.  I think the pictures tell the whole story.
