Although we're counting down our last days here, we took time out today for a fun trip to Melrose, Montana and the Big Hole River.
Well, actually, we made the trip for world famous hamburgers at the Melrose Bar & Cafe with Steve and Marilyn and not for fishing. We didn't take our fly rods!
It was a beautiful trip! We saw antelope and 2 different types of deer - white tail and mule deer. We were on the lookout for moose, but alas, no moose on this trip. Marilyn is determined to see a moose and she has a tight network of friends and accomplices who are also on the lookout and call her when there is a reported sighting.
The hamburgers were very good, as were the fresh real-potato fries. It was the delicious Montana beef - so tasty and totally opposite of fast food burger "meat". The company was fantastic also!
We visited the 2 fly shops in the immediate area before heading over to the river. The cottonwood trees line the river and the leaves have just started to show the bright yellow, gold, orange and red fall colors. The sound of the river flowing over the rocks was like Mother Nature's music. I can see us spending time next year on the Big Hole River, exploring this beautiful area.
