“Hooking a Lunker” from “Hooked by Flyfishing” by Graham M. Mott

“My heart raced as I was sure

I had hooked a huge trout

as I never felt a fish this strong.

It rapidly stripped the line off my reel.

There was no possibility

of stopping such a big fish.”

You may know that wonderful feeling when first viewing a valley that is so beautiful it almost takes your breath away.  That is how I felt when I first laid my eyes on the South Fork of the White River curving among beaver ponds and nestled in a lush valley with forests and tall rugged mountains on both sides.  It was a five-hour road trip from Denver to the river driving I-70 to the exit next to the Colorado River at Gypsum and a long winding steep climb along a narrow dirt road up the mountainside to a high plateau.  The rest of the trip included driving through aspen groves and meadows while crossing several small streams until finally dropping back down in the White River valley on a steep, rocky, and rutted road.  The latter part of the trip was slow going but was well worth it when you finally arrived.  In fact, one time while driving down this road toward the White River, I managed to high center my car and had to walk for several miles to summon help.

Besides camping near the river, there was only one other place to stay, Budges Lodge, built in 1931.  This resort is now called Budge’s Flattops Wilderness Lodge and consists of a dining hall and seven primitive log cabins in a serene setting close to the White River and adjacent to the Flat Tops Wilderness Area in the White River National Forest, and 40 miles from the nearest paved road.  Guest cabins are lighted by kerosene lamps and heated with wood stoves.  There is a sink and a toilet in each cabin with only a shower curtain around it for privacy and an outside cold communal shower. The resort offers daily meals and horseback rides or pack trips to fish back country lakes in the wilderness area.  It is a step above camping out, and the food is good, family-style fare.

GREAT PRICE!!! Come see this very tranquil property set deep in the woods on a seasonal, single lane town road in McDonough NY. This 277 acres is a large chunk of real estate with a beaver pond near the road and dense forest land throughout the rest. Bordered by state lands and with state lands across the road make this a bonus buy with all the extra acreage right at your convenience! There are snowmobile trails along these state trails, and the seasonal town roads become snowmobile trails in the winter. Whether it be for hunting or ATVs or snowmobiles, this property could certainly suit your fancy. Also, this property has 254 of the 277 acres enrolled in the NYSDEC 480a Forestry Program for a significant reduction in property taxes. Build your cabin in the woods and be away from it all, because that’s the way it feels when you are up in these woods. You could definitely get lost in the woods for sure so come prepared. There is land on both sides of the road for a short stretch. This is not on a paved road, nor does it have public power. This is a true off-gridders delight! Just minutes from Cincinnatus for your chainsaw needs at the local hardware store, and for all your other necessities. $259,900.

“Landscapes of great wonder and beauty lie under our feet and all around us. They are discovered in tunnels in the ground, the heart of flowers, the hollows of trees, fresh-water ponds, seaweed jungles between tides, and even drops of water. Life in these hidden worlds is more startling in reality than anything we can imagine. How could this earth of ours, which is only a speck in the heavens, have so much variety of life, so many curious and exciting creatures?” -Walt Disney 🌲❄️🌲❄️🌲❄️🌲❄️🌲❄️ Check out my other cool stuff on my etsy shop! ✨️ https://www.etsy.com/shop/PhantomEarthCreation ❄️🌲❄️🌲❄️🌲❄️🌲❄️🌲 #photographylovers #photooftheday #photographylife #naturevibes #dreamy #magical #pondphotography #waterphotography #pond #landscapephotography #landscapeart #landscape #coloradophotography #wildernessphotography #coloradophotographer #mountainphotography #escapereality #perspectives #beaverpond #photographyart #photographie #forestphotography #forest #winterphotography #winter #snow #ice #icypond https://www.instagram.com/p/Coz25y7pQmW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We drove to the Mt Elbert South trailhead and hiked to a loop of the Colorado Trail with a spur off to the Lilly Pond. The Elbert trail is full of Aspens and wildflowers. There are several beaver ponds on the Colorado Trail loop with flowers everywhere. From the Lily Pond we took a side trail and found an old cabin by a campsite where someone had been practicing their axe throwing. . . #twinlakes #coloradotrail #lilypond #hike #explorecolorado #greatoutdoors #outside #beaverponds #flowers #ponds #mountains #hikecolorado #aspens #betteroutdoors #southelbettrailhead (at Twin Lakes, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCrGC-XpB4A/?igshid=17v6fv3b7tfnr

So, this interrupted my ride. Nothing like a bull moose to completely distract everyone. @estesparkcolorado @visitestespark @rockynps #moose #beaverponds #nationalparkwildlife #trailridgeroad (at Estes Park, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA6Oln3Ff60/?igshid=1gnhrthdi5rsd

Horseshoe Lake near the entrance area of Denali National Park is a great hike for families or anyone looking for a shorter experience. Located near the Alaska Railroad tracks, the trailhead leads hikers down to a beautiful little lake frequented by busy beavers. It also winds along the Nenana River and its tributaries, which the boys found fun on this cool, sunny fall day. . . . . #denalinp #horseshoelake #beaverponds #hiking #akkids #camping #labordayweekend #everykidinapark #findyourpark #AKontheGO #rvak49 #rvalaska #alaska #nationalparks #natureplay #outdoorfamilies #outfam #familyfunexpert #familytravel (at Denali National Park and Preserve)

Cutting A Path To the Weekend Like... . Well, sort of. I didn’t even realize it’s Friday until I overheard someone say “Yeah, on Fridays I...” . It is Friday, right? They could’ve been talking about tomorrow. Or yesterday. . I s’pose if that’s all I have to worry about this morning, I’m doing pretty well. . Time to get at it, though! . I mean, if this is Friday I have all kinds of things to get done so I don’t have to do them tomorrow. They should’ve been done yesterday. . Now to figure out what time it might be. . note: I suspect the ‘path’ through the pond is actually a beaver’s regular travel, as this extends the other side of a freshly worked beaver dam. . . #friday #isitfridayyet #weekendscoming #doesanyonereallyknowwhattimeitis #doesitreallymatter #nomad #lilypond #philosophicalcrap #adventurist #explorer #idontknowwhatdayitis #optoutside #getoutandexplore #borntoroam #wanderlust #lifeontheroad #solotravel #traveler #travelblog #beaverpond #beaver #burnhamsmarsh #newhampshire #myoutdoorlife #dailyhike #dailyride #ontheroad #exploretocreate #tracking #animaltracks (at New Hampshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnbinoBHQ1w/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vp3epptikuw9

Santa Fe Canyon Preserve - The Nature Conservancy - Beaver Pond BEAVER PONDS This part of the preserve is the best birding spot in terms of diversity. The beavers are still actively shaping the area creating a series of evolving ponds containing snags used by many flycatchers. Some of the larger trees have been fenced for protection so a closed-canopy bosque persists on the south side.” - The Nature Conservancy #PhotoByJeriRae #BeaverPond #SantaFeCanyonPreserve #TheNatureConservancy #SantaFe #SantaFeNewMexico #TheCityDifferent #NewMexico #LandOfEnchantment (at Santa Fe Canyon Preserve - Nature Conservancy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDApWA-lYDE/?igshid=1r86vgz13hx55
