Yet another installation in the Hell's Anglers saga, Steve "Tater" Tatarchuk and I rolled fast on a Friday night a few weeks ago for a weekend backpacking trip in the Medicine Bow Range near Centennial, Wyo. These mountains are pristine, untraveled and majestic like the national anthem ... or a bald eagle.Anyhow, after a quick two hour throttle-fest from the office over a few passes and hairpins, we arrived at the trailhead where we were greeted by a flock of mosquitoes. After a quick Deet bath and organizing the alcohol and guns, we set out for three hour hike shouldering 50 pounds each of ammunition, fishing supplies, bratwurst and beer (yes, we forgot the tents and sleeping bags).
Here's a photo of me at some watering hole/greasy burger joint in Centennial. Nothin' like a cheerburger, fries and beer after you've been stuck in the wilderness with nothing to eat but bratwurst and beer for a few days ... makes sense, right?Steve is in the photo above, wondering if that noise behind us is a bear.
