HUNTER’S PARK  Donald got up early today and met Dick and Dave Todd at Deer Park for a drive into the Big Horn Mountains and a mule ride into Hunter’s Park for brook trout fishing. They rode for an hour and a half up to about 9,000 to 9,500 feet to reach Hunter’s Park, where the mules were hobbled and left to graze while they had a fantastic day fishing for brookies.

EXCELLENT MOUNTAIN FISHING  Donald used a hopper and a Chernobyl Ant and both were extremely productive. When they were ready to leave, they rounded up the mules, but one had thrown his hobbles, so the chase was on. The mule was caught and the hobbles found.

SADDLE SORE, BUT HAPPYOn the ride out they saw a cow moose, and met some campers Dave knew. After a visit with the campers, they continued the ride out, loaded the mules, and drove back to the campground where they let Donald out. He was so sore, both from riding and the right knee injured in a volleyball game in June, that he could hardly walk. Meanwhile, Kay got her hair colored in Buffalo and it looked great. She and Carolyn went to Sheridan, shopped, and toured the city.
