It was a 8 hour journey one way. All to be done in two day's. Left the great Burg of Ellen with much anticipation at what was at the end of my journey. Could not ask for better company. I was joined by the best gal any one could ask for, my Wife. Just a leisure drive through Wa. Id. Mont. At the end was Hyde Drift boat Co. With my brand new Hyde. What a great reward.

The elderly Indian gal behind the counter said "you're having a girl" - not so much as a question, but as a matter-of-fact statement. We told her that we weren't finding out until the baby arrived. She just smiled a funny little smile. Upon returning home I sat down at the computer and posted a blog article about our trip : <a href="http://blog.riverwoodfliesonline.com/?p=622" target="_blank">http://blog.riverwoodfliesonline.com/?p=622</a> . A couple days this fella named Derek Young posted a comment about the article and a new friendship started - one that will last a lifetime I'm sure. Derek and I have since colaborated on some new fly designs and consult with each other on a variety of topics aside from fishing. We actually got to fish together for the first time a few weeks back. I've shown him my river and look forward to getting back up to the Yak for a trip. You just never know what a road trip will lead you to. P.S. - The elderly Indian lady was right on the money - Hadlee Shay Carpenter entered our life on November 10th. A beautiful baby girl.
