Ennis Montana, Dental Floss Tycoon

After camping at the edge of the Badlands, we arrived in the Black Hills of South Dakota,  where we stoppped along a creek that was as cold as snow.

    Then we ended up in Wyoming, to visit family, and made our way to Bozeman the next day.  Up through Crow country and over the Bighorn and Little Bighorn to Billings.  From there we followed the Yellowstone River all the was to westerrn MT.  In Bozeman we picked up Doc, and proceeded to the little river town of Ennis.  After we went into a dark bar called the catspaw, that is.  We made camp, and were surprised by a windy hail storm that drove us to walk across the Madison River and into town, where we got a beer by candlelight as the power had been knocked out. 
    Th next morning we got situated and then drove back to Bozeman to pick up cuz and his girl.  After a quick stop for smokes and beer, we got back to "roughing it" on the river; eating steak, drinking coffee, and relaxing along the big Madison. 
  That night Doc was awoken by a skunk trying to get into the garbage.  After throwing a rock at it, and waking everyone up in the process, he potato sac hopped in his sleeping bag to a safer spot between our tents to sleep. 
    We fished the braids the next day, which is a spot where the river makes many channels and islands and also good water to fish.  We ate one last night, but do not want to brag.  Apple and onion trout with rice and beans is roughin' it. 
    Today we awoke with no problem from the critters, and had our coffee together, then the guys left to fish and I did some yoga on the rivers edge, under another sunny big sky.
