Waiters

Last minute check on gear. If anyone has not gotten their waiters let me know before Thursday. I'm bringing a back up reel, but not the boots/waiters unless someone needs them. And contrary to what John V. says, they are free of charge.

Here she is, big game cart, steel construction, duel solid rubber tires and she will easily hold 300lbs of the slow teams gear:)   see you all soon    Johnny V 

Itinerary change

     getting jumpy. Just found out last night that the road from canyon village to tower is closing on sept 22. the day we get there. this means that tower creek campground is closed for the winter on sat. No big gig. We will go directly to slough creek base camp and stay there. It is only 2 miles away. It is first come first serve so Jake, Brown, Carlos, and myself ( I will call it "the go team") will get there as early on sat. as we can and reserve at least two sites. If for some reason there is a problem there is another campground not to far from there called pebble creek. that will be the back up. Once we get our sites sat morning we will then go to tower-roosevet to the ranger station, get our back county premit, take any classes we need, get our fishing licenses, and call johnny V and tell him where we will be.
    We will not be able to fish tower creek which sucks but we will still be able to fish the yellowstone and maybe do some recon on the slough before we go backcountry.
    The road closure adds about 25 more mins to the drive for both the go team and the slow team but it does force our hand in that we will be traveling right past Mammoth hot springs. So bring your suits so we can take a dip in the only place in the park where you can bathe it the hot springs.
