They are typically found in locations where fly casting is more challenging
The fly needs to either go under the log or land just beyond it

Deserts one day, high mountain snowshoeing the next. Today we have been above Capileira on our snowshoes. The snowshoeing is incredible at the moment, even though we had threatening storm clouds around it didn't start snowing until we had reached the cars on our return.

I’ve spent hundreds of nights watching the aurora in Alaska, but this night at Angel Rocks is still burned into my memory. I hiked up at sunset, found a spot on a rocky outcrop, and waited — and when the lights came, they came fast. One of the brightest, most intense aurora I’ve ever seen, racing across the sky and lighting up the whole valley below.

No time for a clever caption, we’re too busy having fun in the forest!
#Today 25
Good day!
On my walk yesterday in the rain, I solved a problem in a key chapter & came up with a handful of blogging ideas.
I’ll draft one of those today.
The edit is 64% done. This was drafted 8-years ago with some light editing since. It’s kinda rough. But not when I’m done.
Be everwell.

I’m sure I make plenty of mistakes while fishing
But fewer mistakes usually mean more trout
One big mistake - my mind drifted right after a seemingly perfect cast, and I lost one of the two trout that hit my fly

Some images from yesterdays hike in the badlands of Tabernas, Almeria. A cold day but this made the skies crystal clear of either the heat haze or the Saharan dust that normally plague this area
The #Waterfall is back! At least for now. But I'm afraid that it will be gone in a few days again.
Hiking Ancient Lakes part 8. This giant boulder seems eerily prescient, like something out of a fantasy novel. Perhaps someone (or some thing) threw it off the cliff at the last people who passed this way.
Anyway, for more about how this landscape formed, see here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missoula_floods

Hiking Ancient Lakes part 7. You can't go wrong with waterfalls and columnar basalt. Orange lichen on rabbit brush. Also does anyone recognize these giant reeds? Is this invasive pampas grass or something native? I don't know many of the plants here at all. 7/8

Hiking Ancient Lakes part 6. Small video: turn the sound up. It's frog breeding season in the still water of the coulee lakes, and they're going crazy. Some spring birds there too. 6/8

Hiking Ancient Lakes part 5. Here's some closeups of the main rock attraction here: columnar basalt, a result of ancient lava flows (way more ancient than the lakes). I keep wondering where all this lava came from-- the nearest existant volcano is probably Mt Rainier, over 130km away. 5/8
