Three years ago this spring, Herb Superb, Keith and I met up for our annual tip to the "Kamloops" area of British Columbia. Sadly, back home, while Keith and Herb were offloading Keith's pram, he tripped on a piece of golf chipping fabric and broke his leg which essentially ended trips like this for him. He was 83 when he broke his leg.
This was how we rolled - three prams (the lightest one is mine on top of the canopy). Every morning we'd roll out from Milehighresort.com and head to one of our favorite lakes. Sometimes the trip in would take two hours and for anyone who has spent much time in that area, two hours is a long time to bounce around in a truck but not necessarily getting you long distance from the starting point. Upon arrival, we'd help each other unload all three prams and then individually get our boat ready to go. This process took, oh, an hour or so........ and at the end of the day we reversed the order and drove home. Keith is now 85, Herb is 80 and I'm the boot at 76. The last few years that we made this journey, we talked about finding a lodge or destination where the home water fished well; we just never made that leap. I guess we're too old to do that anymore.

Calm before the storm, I miss this lake. She was so good to me over the years.
Same lake, a couple hours later and the bite was on, Herb Superb netting a nice fish

Keith with a "small" trout (I gave up asking him to wear his PFD)
D Lake trout.
The year before Keith broke his leg, the lake in most of the above pics kicked out trout to about 8 pounds and then it winter killed.
