The Scenery

You can see Red Lodge Ski Resort from Cooney, so I thought I'd add this picture to give some of you non-northwesterners an idea of what the scenery is like this time of year.

Bob's New Toy

Well, the maiden voyage has been completed. Bob got his new boat on Friday morning and took it out to Cooney Resevoir. He and a friend of his, Jonathan, camped out Friday night, and I joined them on Saturday. Despite the initial 30 - 40 degree temperatures and a chilly wind in the morning, it was a great day on the lake (it finally warmed up to around 60+ early afternoon). Of course, Bob was a little disappointed that the only fish he caught was from shore Saturday morning before we took the boat out. Otherwise, the dogs thoroughly enjoyed the weekend out. Maddie tends to just crash on the boat while Copa is quite content to keep an eye on everyone's lines for them. She really gets excited when you reel in a fish.
