My sincere apologies! A lot of people emailed me and gave me loads of help-you certainly offered me a lot of help! I appreciated it all!
There are a number of circumstances that got in the way of my replying. First, when I got back, my computer had { I guess?? } crashed or something and I had to start all over, with everything. I lost all emails and websites. I had 8 fishing websites that I had posted to and without the emails, lost all track of who was where.
Add to that family problems, that would take many pages to fill, that I, being the only local family member, with more than a dollar to my name, had to deal with.
My grandson was killed by a car last year and my son and his wife are in depression and lost everything, and I mean EVERYTHING! I got them a car recently, but I only make maybe $28,000 a year, so i'm not rich. Then my son broke his leg and can't work!
Then I got neve and depression problems, from trying to deal with their problems [they have 2 other children, besides the 15 year old that was killed.] Anyway, i'm on Prozac and Xanax and coming out of the worst of it all. I'm not looking for help or sympathy. I just want anyone, including, or especially, you, to know that i'm not just unappreciative. I'm just a bit messed up.
Colorado was wonderful! I wish I was there still, believe me! I loved the fishing! I didn't catch any big trout, but I got a 12" Cutthroat and a bunch of brown and Rainbows. I fished the Colorado, the Arkanasas, the Animas [where I got the Cutthroat in a feeder stream- I can't prove it, because, with camera in one hand and fish in the other, the fish flopped back in the water!
] The Frying Pan and in N.M. the Pecos [which was too muddied up to catch anything]
The Cottonwood Pass trip was fantastic!
Ouray was beautiful! We took the hoseback trail ride and loved it! I'm not sure my wife's butt agrees!
Again, my sincere [and I mean it!] apology! I feel terrible that I was offensive to those who were so very helpful to me! Circumstances got in my way.
THANK YOU and everyone else who took their time to be of help to me!!!
I do have hundreds of pictures, so i'll never forget Colorado!
