+Wienerdog Posted July 31, 2004 Posted July 31, 2004 I heard from John today and he has arrived safely at his new home in CutBank (sp?) Montana. Happy you made it okay! Oh so sad to see you leave. Hopefully he will be returning to the area in the fall! Let's keep out fingers crossed. He is truly an icon in this area and has become a very close friend to MR and myself. We miss him already! Let us know how you are doing John, okay? AND HEY EVERYBODY! If we keep bugging him enough maybe he will return sooner than expected! We all love you John and think you are just the greatest guy! MR and Donna PS Chloe misses you too. You know how she squeals when she sees you. She thinks you are one of the kids. She only does that with our kids and grandkids! Quote
+EraSeek Posted July 31, 2004 Posted July 31, 2004 Well...? What's he doin' there??? (I'll bet he's guiding or something.) Quote
+TotemLake Posted July 31, 2004 Posted July 31, 2004 Wow! I knew he was moving, but didn't realize he was leaving the state! Hope you fare well over there! I hope to see you again soon! Your Gem Lake cache is a story I constantly repeat. Quote
+shunra Posted July 31, 2004 Posted July 31, 2004 Well...? What's he doin' there???(I'll bet he's guiding or something.) Why, haven't we all at times considered moving to a place where we haven't found every cache within a 2 hours driving distance yet? Quote
+evergreenhiker! Posted July 31, 2004 Posted July 31, 2004 Gee, thanks Donna!!! And to everybody for your comments! Yes, I will return to the area. I'm over there to assist my folks with the move. This might take a month or so. Anyhow, this will give me a chance to try some trails around Glacier National Park and do some caches in Missoula, Great Falls, Helena and other places. Quote
+Prying Pandora Posted July 31, 2004 Posted July 31, 2004 Glad you'll be returning, EGH. Have a good time! Quote

Thank Goodness I thought he'd been abducted by pine nuts! Quote
nolenator Posted August 1, 2004 Posted August 1, 2004 Man, I am glad you came to my birthday party so I had a chance to meet you. You will have fun out there. Let me know if any of your caches need a maintenace visit. Peace, Nolenator Quote
+runhills Posted August 1, 2004 Posted August 1, 2004 Evergreenhiker! I have sure enjoyed your Cascade hides. With some luck I will have placed a couple in retaliation Meanwhile enjoy Montana and keep the forum full of your adventures. I will miss watching your activities on my cache watchlist. Quote
+EraSeek Posted August 1, 2004 Posted August 1, 2004 Once you run out of caches to hit, I hear the flyfishing is as good as it comes in Montana. Enjoy your time there! Quote
nolenator Posted August 1, 2004 Posted August 1, 2004 I dream of making a living while living in Montana. What a great state! Peace, Nolenator Quote
Moun10Bike Posted August 2, 2004 Posted August 2, 2004 I'm glad to hear that the move will only be temporary, John. Enjoy Montana while you are there - I would love to be able to hang out there for a month or two in the summer! Quote
+evergreenhiker! Posted August 3, 2004 Posted August 3, 2004 I'm going fly fishing right now. just got my Montana fishing license and dealer told me that the creek below me holds some big Rainbows and some huge Browns. Hopper patterns are the ticket so I bought a couple. Some nice water right by my cache. Ok...gotta get that fly line wet! Quote

EGH gives a louder YaHoo When snagging a trout on a fly than scoring another FTF. Go get um EGH! Quote
+evergreenhiker! Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 Check this out everybody! Just after 5 minutes of fishing, I hooked into a real nice Rainbow of 15 inches that fought for 5-7 minutes on fly rod...total kick!!!!! First Montana trout for me and cool thing, htis is just below the house by my Ruins of Cut bank cache. Quote
+XVampire Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 Welcome to MT, I hope to snag your new caches soon. I highly recommend all of ZAC59401 's caches in the Augusta are, they are all top notch. Perhaps we can cross paths sometime. There is an event in Helena the 22nd of this month. It looks like it will be a blast! Also there is a new group in Great Falls you are welcome to join and participate in. Here is a link: GFGF Great Falls Geocaching Fans Happy caching. Quote
+evergreenhiker! Posted August 27, 2004 Posted August 27, 2004 After fixing one of my caches in Cut Bank, I went out to the river below the house and tested out my crayfish/crawdad imitation. First cast out into the hole near my cache, baaaaammmm!!!! The line screamed out and into hte backing real quick. 10 minutes later I beached the beautiful 19.5 inch Rainbow of about 3.5 lbs: http://img.Groundspeak.com/cache/7dafd7c6-...263fce6058f.jpg This is about as good it gets...creating your own pattern and christianing in style!!!

+TotemLake Posted August 27, 2004 Posted August 27, 2004 Very cool. Go ahead... keep rubbing the good life into our faces. Quote
+GeoRoo Posted August 27, 2004 Posted August 27, 2004 Wow, nice looking fish. For some reason I'm seeing the entire forum now and I see a NW section. So this is where everyone hangs out!.... If you get the time check out the BearPaw Mnts south of Havre. I was camping and fishing BearPaw Lake in early July and that was a beautiful area. I caught so many fish that I got tired of fishing. Nothing like that big one you caught though. If you like crawdads there's a large pool below the lake spillway and you can get a bucket load. Of course the camping wouldn't be complete without a cache, so One Teed off Papa is nearby. I posted a pic with my log. This is a caching desert here with only 2 caches in the Havre area. Head south up the road past the Bearpaw ski area and top out at 6,500 ft. There's a communication site up there that would make an excellent cache site. I fell in love with that part of MT, so put out some caches and I'll be back for sure. Quote
+1stimestar Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 My son was born in Kalispell and I also lived for a time in Polson. Montana is a wonderful place (of course not QUITE as good as Alaska) but great hikes. Have fun. Quote

Montana is a wonderful place (of course not QUITE as good as Alaska) but great hikes. Have fun. Thanks! I've actually been concentrating on the fishing it seems. Last week has been super!!! Several trout in the 18 inch range on fly. Total kick and I lost a steelhead-sized trout tonight...pushing 6-7 lbs. Quote
+1stimestar Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 I miss catfish. I guess they don't have them up here. I just moved here last December. There are plenty of salmon in season though. Yum! Quote
+pdxmarathonman Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 After fixing one of my caches in Cut Bank, I went out to the river below the house and tested out my crayfish/crawdad imitation. This is about as good it gets...creating your own pattern and christianing in style!!! Does that involve blessing the new fly with holy water? Congrats on the great catch! Quote
