On the road again...

It's my favorite time of year, autumn. Especially this year, when we've been home all summer for house guests, a family camping trip at the ocean, two weddings, more out-of-town guests, and catching up on chores. Great fun, all of it...  but when we found a few weeks with no commitments, we grabbed the chance and hit the road.

To me, autumn is the season with the most change, which makes it the most interesting. It starts out as summer, with warm days. The days stay warm as the nights cool down, then the leaves begin to change color, making every vista new and different. The harvest wraps up, bringing another round of fruits and vegetables to the farm stands. The leaves begin to drop to the ground, and by the end of the season, if we're lucky, the first snows fall.

It's the perfect time to get out there, explore, travel the back roads. We're heading for the eastern border of Idaho, right up against the Grand Tetons, for some fly fishing on two of the best rivers in the country:  the South Fork of the Snake, and Henry's Fork.

But we're taking the long way there, so we can do some geocaching, explore Lehman Cave in Great Basin National Park, visit family and friends. Most of all, explore the rest of a state we've come to love as much as our own.

So let the adventure begin!
