>>I drove from Memphis all the way to Jasper, Alberta and then about 150 miles further, back in 1978. That is some beautiful country! Unfortunately, it is too far from the mid-south, so I go to Colorado, Wyoming and occasionally Montana. I will retire in Colorado, ultimately, and it looks a lot like Alberta, except for the ice blue lakes up there. I start to feel better everytime I cross the Colorado state line. Sometimes, I think a part of me stays in the mountains around Gunnison, and I have to reunite every year. You are very fortunate to live in the midst of such beauty!

>I think Colorado has some fine scenery too. I like to find a nice place a spend time fly fishing and not caring whether I catch anything at all.

Yep, if you just want to relax, fly fish. If you want to catch fish, use dynamite!
