Weekend Getaway

Aug 01, 2006 20:46

My dad has a cabin near Big Sky, Montana. He goes there every summer to spend a couple weeks fly fishing, and he usually brings along a couple of his fishing buddies. This past weekend, Clint and I drove to the cabin to visit my dad while he was there. It's a 4 1/2 hour drive from where we live in Hamilton.

The weather has been hot for two weeks-upper 90s to 100+. I was hoping it might be cooler over there, but no such luck.  I like to fly fish but I'd rather paint--so I brought my easel and oil painting supplies, planning on doing a plein air of the Gallatin River that flows by my dad's cabin. But I discovered that I had forgotten to bring a board/canvas to paint on!

Here is Clint fly fishing on the Gallatin River with my dad looking on.



Sunday afternoon the wind came up and the temperatures have dropped....we are now in a lovely state of 80 degrees for highs!
