On the road again

Clint shot this doe on the River property at first light!

Hi Everyone, Yes we are on the road again in Montana. We left home on the 19th of Oct and arrived at Clint and Tanya's on the 21st. We had a good trip over the mountains without any snow!!!! We spent one extra night at a very pretty campground. (pictured below) We saw a large heard of Rocky Mountain big horn sheep right off the road on our way over. Sam,Shannon and the boys joined us on Friday afternoon and boy was it wonderful having everyone together. The boys were up early on Sunday morning, along with Tanya and all went hunting. Success was the theme for the day. They came home with one doe and one buck. Lee is going hunting with Clint tomorrow to try for his deer. So much for now. below are a few pictures that we have so far. More to come later.

This is were we camped over night. It was a beautiful spot.Here are a few of the sheep we saw.

Tanya shot this nice buck below the bluff after lunch.

October and we have already had snow!!!!!

A nice fish on the Sandy River

This Chinook was caught off the mouth of the Sandy River the 1st of September. I had the best of intentions to up date the blog before now but it just didn't happen. So here goes the latest on the Houstons traveling road show. Lee had a good time fishing on the Sandy river, but came home about 2 weeks early because of the rain in Sandy ( you know it never rains in Prineville). Lee caught some real nice fish on the Columbia and Sandy rivers. I will include a few pictures. We now have enough omega 3 fatty acids to get us thru till next fall. Riley is glad to be home laying on the warm asphalt in the driveway. He did love swimming in the ocean with his friend Suzy Q when we were at the beach. Last Sunday winter decided to show us that it is just around the corner. Sam and Shannon in Bend had about 4 inches of snow and we had a dusting with flurries off and on in the morning hours. Today it is 64 so we are out enjoying the sunshine. Our garden is now finished and it is time to dig up and pull out all the left over veggies that froze. We had a pretty good garden this year. I am already thinking about what we are going to plant next year. We are still working on the pavers and it looks like that project may not get done until next spring. Lee did get the garden planter finished and now all I have to do is get the dirt to fill it. We are off to Montana in about a week to see the kids and Sam and Shannon and the boys are joining us there. We are soooo excited because it has been about 4 years since we have all been together at one time. I will post lots of pictures after our visit. Well, that's about it for now. Hope everyone is have a good fall.
