As a geologist, I travel to remote regions of the world. "Eulogies and Dead Horses" is a collection of some of my travel adventures. The stories focus on the beauty that surrounds us, especially during poignant moments when life is in a fragile state. An underlying theme in this book is the presence of Mortality as an almost sentient, omnipotent being. The situations are described with humor and, in some cases, a bit of geological observation as well. Each story is either about people or about animals experiencing some stressful condition and the subsequent resolution of the conflict. These situations demonstrate the likely existence of a larger plan - a plan that sometimes looks like an obscure path leading through a mire of challenges. That said, I believe in the positive side of human nature. In summary, these stories are actually about life.

These are fishing stories by three authors about places, boats, bars, trucks, dogs and people. They occur in Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, Nevada, Idaho and Utah and other fishable parts of the world. "Between the Rivers" is a compilation of humorous adventures that happen on the road, in the middle of the journey, in the campsite, at the bar, and during the fishing trips. These are tales in common with most fishing people, with travelers, with mountain folk - in short, these are tales of living the dream.

Between the Rivers: Fly Fishing Stories of the West

The intention of this map booklet is to relieve some of the daily fishing pressure that exists at the better known fly fishing venues: Dream Stream and Eleven Mile Canyon. Many anglers come to South Park to experience fishing our Gold Medal Waters (Charlie Myers State Wildlife Area, aka, ¿Dream Stream¿ and ¿Eleven Mile Canyon¿). That said, there are four reservoirs in South Park with inlets and spillways and four major tributaries that comprise the South Platte River in the basin of South Park. The water above the reservoirs is recharged through run-off from the surrounding mountains and through springs and acquifers near the surface in the alluvial basin. The significance of the wild headwaters is that you can find wild resident trout year round above the reservoirs.When people come into my shop, I try to find out what their goal is for the day. Do they want to catch a grand big fish? Many fish? A variety of trout species? A shot at cutthroats? Pike? Are they fishing with a group of people? Do they have children or a dog? Would they like to hike or park next to a river? (Do they want to spin-fish, use bait, or keep a trout?) ¿ There are multuple venues for a variety of fishing methods in South Park.Prior to opening this shop, I was a geologist and GIS operator, which means I make maps using software. The back of my shop has a wall devoted to maps showing people where they are, orienting them to the region and the flow of the South Platte River, and showing a variety of options for their day. My maps have personal notes and colored lines drawn on them. People capture images of my maps using their cells phones. I began to realize that these maps in booklet form would be useful in diverting anglers to the Lesser Know Fly Fishing Venues of South Park.

When I've guided people, who have never been fly fishing before (or are still relatively new to the sport), I've noticed a common challenge is that they often don't see the fish, nor do they see the fish's activity (a disturbance on the surface of the water). Even when I point to the ripple or the splash, they still don't see it.Why this book? Because this book is the best book for Joe Schmo of his wife Shirley. It's simple and different. This book uses a lot of cartoon illustrations. Joe Schmo likes cartoons. If you don't like cartoons, you'll probably not like this book. I wrote this book to put into writing what I commonly tell Joe Schmo (or Shirley) on a daily basis in my fly shop here in Lake George, Colorado. There are tons of novice people with a fly rod who have taken and lesson or two and are now trying to go on their own.
