When Solitude Calls

[peter]

Yes. The rivers are special and alive. Ancient roads. A great place to go to get away, the best I think. As you say "nothing can compare". I have taken a good number of river trips with my son. Sleeping on the banks and in the boat. If I told you where you would question my sanity. This year we are starting at the mouth of the Tennessee near Paducah and heading upstream until we run out of water. I guess we'll be looking at The Smokeys when we hit bottom.

Won't have time to fish. Too busy staying afloat. Plus many times you don't know what state you are in.

I am certain your Dad and Grandfather will be smiling as you make those casts. Have a nice time and make a cast for me.

Alot of people have questioned my sanity when they see the size boat I fish out of and where I fish.(the falls). But the boat I fish out of was passed on to me by my grandfather.In my eyes the real Riverrat, I learned how to fish,camp,catch bait and be a good person on the river ,and the memories that I have of those times I will allway's charish. I feel he rides with me everytime I go out. Sure I have a bigger boat, but the one day a week I get to spend on the river......I'd rather be with him and good friends. Great thread Bonefish....Chuck
