Fly Fishing Reruns

Saturday Reruns From the YouTube Library How about a thirteen-year-old video from South Padre Island, and one of my favorite places to fly fish – The Jetties? To say these were “the early days,” of YouTube and YouTube videos is a bit rich when you see the quality YouTube would render down the files that were pretty lame to begin with – BACK THEN! And you’ll see this was before even the…

Alright, hopefully this is pretty self explanatory, but if there are any questions, please let us know. Here’s a few key things: 

As always, any Triggering plots or plots that will affect a large amount of people MUST be talked about and approved by the admins. 

There will be guards and staff EVERYWHERE as supervision, so keep in mind most anything you do can potentially be seen/heard etc. 

If your character is going to break the rules, please be reasonable and understand there will be consequences.

Don’t break the game. 

For the Water scene, have it played out by end of the day on the 29th. For this one only, we’ll accept WELL DEVELOPED head canons as well as full paras. Please do not give us four sentences. If I feel the HC is too weak (like I don’t have a good idea of what the scene was or how the characters were affected or reacted) I will not count it. I’m being nice because this scene is during a fun in-play thing, but please understand the point is for development and being creative. 

Tag your post with gleedsmspringbreak19 to count.

This morning we got up and went to breakfast at the South Hall.  We had no plans to do anything afterwards.  Well just like we do sometimes, we changed our mind.  We got in the truck and decided to go for a ride.  Today was to be the last nice day.  Rain is in the forecast for the next several days….Another small cold wave…..sigh…sigh…..We wanted to see where a certain road went that we had never been on……So we headed out of town, and ended up  in Rio Hondo.  We kept driving through the countryside.  We were always on black top but the roads were rather bad in some places.   The roads don’t seem to have the drainage ditches that we have back home.  The water level is high and the black tops seem to fall apart because of the rain water.  Well we ended up at Port Isabella, coming in the back way.  We crossed the Causeway Bridge to South Padre Island.  We decided to go down to the Public Beach for a Walk…

It was such a Beautiful day….

I took off my shoes and enjoyed walking the sand barefoot….

    So Many people were walking going both ways…..Up and down the Beach…There are hotels and Condos each way as you look in the distance.  Reminds me of Cancun…..lol…but without the waiter in his white tux and black tie that served us on the beach….The Waves just kept splashing on my ankles.  I was cool but not cold….Really a great feeling with the Sun shinning brightly in the sky..

We seen a couple coming with their dog.   It was a Golden Doodle.  That is the kind of dog Tina just got.  Dexter is just 9 weeks old.   So we talked with them awhile.

They were very friendly and just loved their puppy.  He was 4 years old and very good natured.   He just wanted to play….

We also seen a fisherman.  He said they probably weren’t biting today.  The waves were to rough….This guy had everything he needed on his cart…lol…fishing pole, tackle box and bait, chair and of course cooler…..so just go stick your pole out in the sand on the beach, sit down in your chair, take out a beer, and just relax in the sun….Now that’s the way to fish….lol…or at least relax….

  We collected some shells and finally decided to walk back…..When we got back to the boardwalk up to the parking lot, we noticed some kites across the road…In fact…..LOTS OF BIG KITES….

So we drove over to the beach on the otherside.  They were having a Kite Festival….It was so cool…

    Beautiful kites flying all over the beach…..Teams had came from all over, even Canada to participate.  We had stumbled across the Annual Kite Festival that takes place the first weekend in February…..It was so awesome to see these guys fly these kites.  It took so much strength and talent….

We walked all over the beach and enjoyed all the music and the gorgeous weather….The teams were showing off there talents of flying their kites to choreographed music.  I think the one that impressed me the most was the one by Lee Greenwood….God Bless the USA….That will forever bring back memories.  That was the song that they played over and over when the Space Shuttle Columbia blew up and the 7 crew members were killed.  By the reactions of the crowd, everyone was overwhelmed with emotion also…………………Now after looking up the Space Shuttle disaster, I found out that it happened Feb 1 2003…..exactly 12 years ago this weekend….. “We will never forget will we”………

Eventually we left, drove back over the Causeway to Port Isabella.  We took some of the back streets to just see the non touresty part of town….lol….We ended up at one of the back inlets…..

Some working fishing boats and residents boat docks, lined the water.

Some really cool sea gulls just sat on the roofs.  Probably looking for food…

We finally headed for home…..Oh gees….We didn’t take any cash….lol…..I didn’t even have my purse….All I had was my bag with my dirty dishes from breakfast.  Rich had the bank card in his pocket (and his drivers liscense)…..lol….So when we got back to Harlingen, we stopped at Mr Gattis …….They have a buffet of pizza and pasta, potato, and salad bar.  All for 12.99  for 2 seniors….Cheap……..

That’s all the Money  we spent for the day……$12.99…..lol….

  South Padre Island and The Annual Kite Festival….Outstanding…. This morning we got up and went to breakfast at the South Hall.  We had no plans to do anything afterwards.

I have not been paid by any entity in any way (financially, benefits) to write the following post.

As a loyal United frequent flyer, I always disorient myself flying anybody that isn’t United or a Star Alliance member. Unfortunately, United has recently been completely unreasonable with their fares, and since I have to go to New York, I ended up having to fly with American and Delta to get to NYC. But to make it interesting, I set up a stopover in Chicago and bought Delta First Class to get into NYC in style. With that being said, welcome to the Jetting to NYC series.

MFE-DFW, DFW-ORD, ORD-LGA

Airline: American Eagle Flight: AA 3306 Aircraft: Embraer ERJ-175 Registration: N227NN Route: McAllen (MFE) – Dallas/Ft. Worth (DFW)

We start this journey at my hometown airport of McAllen Miller International Airport (MFE) in the beautiful border city of McAllen, Texas. This is one of three airports in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley region, the others being Valley International Airport (HRL) in Harlingen and Brownsville/South Padre Island International Airport (BRO) in Brownsville. McAllen was renovated and expanded in order to handle the increasing passenger traffic, and this expansion resulted into nice changes that really improve the ambiance of the airport.

Having gotten to the airport a little early, I had a chance to catch up on some work. I also got a coffee and an unrecommended pasta salad since I had skipped meals due to school and work.

Great iced mocha with a terrible pasta salad

Most of the passengers were waiting at Gate 2, which showed the American flight despite it being a United gate. Sure enough, the plane landed and arrived at American’s Gate 6, and comically an entire herd of travellers made moved like a school of fish to the new gate.

Originally Gate 2

Now I was flying American’s Basic Economy, meaning I was in Group 9, which I didn’t even know existed! I then felt insulted since they didn’t even bother calling Group 9 to board (sarcasm intended). In many ways, American’s Basic Economy is a superior deal compared to United. American allows you to take one carry on and a personal item onboard while United charges you for “overhead bin space”. Not only that, but both airlines charge about the same for Basic Economy, or at least they did on my fare to Chicago, but American won out because I wouldn’t have to pay an additional fee for taking my carry on onboard! American’s restrictions on Basic Economy fares can be found on their website right here, while United’s can be found here.

As I was boarding, I took the chance to snap a pic of the plane as the sun hit us a just the right angle.

See this pic on my Instagram (@bloxfilm) or on my Flickr

Soon we were all onboard and ready for the one hour flight up to Dallas. We taxiied out to the runway, lined up, and soared into the skies above the RGV.

In the air, I took the time to snap some pics of the sky, which you can see on my Flickr account and my Instagram!

Check out pictures like this on my Flickr or Instagram!

After a few minutes in the air, the crew got up and served us drinks and pretzels on this short 1 hour flight to Dallas.

American Eagle Refreshments

Also, like United and Delta, American is moving away from seatback entertainment and implementing BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) entertainment. Wifi is available for purchase, as well as free movies! Also, you can use American’s website and app for free to look at flight info, just like United and Delta. More information on American’s service can be found here.

American Airlines BYOD ad

I ended up purchasing wifi to work on some assignments and to catch up on work, and took some time to check out our flight path on the Flightradar24 app.

Information about my flight from Flightradar24

As nighttime settled in, we began descending into the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. It had been a while since I had landed in Dallas, the last time being the last week of the International First Class Dining Room’s existence in the Terminal D Admirals Club.

American International First Class Dining DFW

American International First Class Dining DFW

We were finally on our final descent into DFW, and of course I caught the “action” and uploaded it to my YouTube channel, where you can see other landings and takeoffs!

We pulled into our gate in Dallas/Ft. Worth, pulling into terminal B, next to another E175 about 7 minutes late.

This ended the first part of the journey to NYC, giving me a chance to snap a pic of our plane at the gate as I made my way to my connecting flight to Chicago.

AA3906 at Gate B12

Verdict

American Airlines’ Basic Economy is a fantastic deal compared to United, and that honestly was the dealbreaker in this case. Despite being a United 1K, the prices were just too high for me to accept, and I am glad to have experienced American’s Basic Economy so I could share with you!

Long time readers of LP will remember that this was once a hiking blog.

After a great many years of doing exceedingly stupid things outside, I decided it was time to start sharing it with you kind folks. This went well for for a while, until sometime in the middle of 2016 I started having real problems with my lower back. Being a Wilson, I promptly ignored all my bodies warning signs, powered straight ahead until after the Great Deer Hunt of 2016, when I collapsed with back spasms while putting Jack in the car. A quick drive to the hospital showed that I had herniated a couple of discs and had terrible arthritis, both of which contributed to crippling spasms that did not stop for more than a month. And so, as soon as I was walking without a cane, our little hiking blog moved to the slightly less arduous task of fly fishing.

A great many fish were caught over the proceeding year, and I loved every moment of it. To be frank, though I have fly fished my whole life, I truly fell in love with the sport over the past year and it will continue to be a big, if not the biggest, part of what I do outside. I was having a great deal of fun, but in the back of my mind there was always a lingering doubt that I would never be able to backpack again. I put out a couple of test balloons, one in the form of a day hike into Aravaipa Canyon, another with a no-frills overnight deer hunt, and finally around January I decided it was time. I was going to go backpacking.

I wanted to do something fun, different, a little brag worthy, but not necessarily killer. A great deal of time looking at a great many maps suggested a few good options, my favorite of which was a north to south bisection of the Superstition Wilderness from the Boulder Canyon to the Peralta Trailhead, with a stop off at Charlebois Spring. This would give us a 10ish mile first day through a reasonably rugged canyon and a 6-14ish mile second day, depending on route, and the bragging rights that come with bisecting a huge, rugged wilderness in a weekend. Padre decided to come along for the ride.

The Boulder Canyon Trail starts off as a climber, immediately working it’s way up from Canyon Lake, until reaching a ridgeline that begins what I call “The Superstitions Highlight Reel.”

With views of all the big western supes standbys, from Weavers Needle to Battleship Mountain, and reasonably easy going, the Highlight Reel is the quintessential desert hike. It is very pretty.

  Padre, because he is Padre, had brought every piece of gear ever invented. His pack looked heavy as we descended into the valley that we would consume the rest of our day.

As I always do before big trips, I had spent the night before studying our route. My Supersitions Map is a beloved old friend who has been on many adventures. Because it is old and has been on many adventures I love this map very much, and have used it far longer than I should have. This is dumb, and worst of all the area seen in the distance of the photo above is very hard to read from all the years of use. However, things seemed easy enough– we were going to get in the valley, stay in the valley, and follow it to either the end, where it meets the Dutchman Trail, or if we saw it a connector called the Cavalry Trail. This was both wrong and dumb.

Things went fine until at the bottom of the valley we reached an carin intersection, one with the trail going off and uphill to the west, and another, fainter one which stayed in the creek. Because I had memorized what I thought was the route the night before, we took a cursory look at the worn out map and stayed in the creek.

The path started out easy enough, with just some annoying creek walking. We were expecting to do about 1.4 miles in the creek, hopefully catching the Cavalry Trail along the way. Being in a canyon, sigthlines were poor and we were having trouble figuring out distance as our pace was slowed as we climbed over increasingly large boulders. The further we got in the worse things got, causing us to take off our packs and haul them up one at a time so we could scramble up the rock falls that were sometimes 10-15 feet high. However, at what I figured was around the 1.4 mile mark, I saw a large set of carins on the East side of the trail, which I assumed was the Cavalry trail. If this was the case we would have returned to a legible section of the map, so I pulled it out a took a look. I couldn’t see much since we were in a deep canyon, but things looked roughly correct. A bit of exploring revealed a worn, nearly imperceptible path, which is not uncommon for connector trails in this part of the world. Doubting our ability to overland should we get turned around, and still convinced we knew roughly where we were, Padre and I decided to stick out the canyon.

You are probably wondering why there are no pictures of this part of the trip. It is simple: we were miserable. The nice parts of the path were boulder hopping, and the bad parts were full on scrambling. Because I am a little bit better of a route finder than Padre is, I was on point, which meant constantly boulder hopping from one side of the creek to the other and back to try to find scramble which was within our (very limited) technical abilities. Eventually we ran into another set of hikers, a young couple who turn out to be the heros of this story. We asked where they were going, and they said the Cavalry Trail. I told them that I thought I had found it a way back, but that it didn’t look very reliable or passable. They looked confused, and I could tell The Navigator in the group thought I was wrong. We all decided to plunge forward.

Eventually we ran into a beautiful campsite with a nice water supply. We weren’t hiking together yet, but both of our groups joked about camping here, but said it wouldn’t be worth having to climb back through the canyon the next day. Ahead, we finally found some smooth walking. 

But it was ephemeral. Just ahead we found a deep pool that had to be waded. Padre and I discussed our options. We could wade through or quit and camp at the Calypso’s island of a campsite behind us, a place we could have stayed and been happy, but in doing so would have failed. We thought hard before pulling off our boots and plunging in.

In the pool the water was cold and the bottom was covered in slippery moss. I was barefoot, and I took up the strategy of sliding one foot forward until I found a crack in the rock which would stop the slide. I repeated this one excruciatingly slow step at a time, careful to be sure my weight never got ahead of me. Padre came behind in sandals, which didn’t even come close to countering the instability caused by his heavier pack. Soon we were across, shared a nervous laugh, put our packs on and kept scrambling.

The good news was that we had apparently passed the spring which was feeding the water in the canyon below, so we were done wading for a while. The bad news, as we would realize in a couple of hours, was that all the pumpable water was now behind us. With our water supplies beginning to dwindle, we were now fully committed. There would be no going back.

As we worked our way up the canyon, we ran into our accidental hiking partners a few times. They were in great shape and had light packs, but were still struggling. Padre had lost a sandal along the way and they had climbed down a small ravine to bring it to him. I decided I liked these people very much (Editor’s Note: A rare thing.) and our two groups did our best Only Revolutions impression for the rest of the day, yo-yoing back and forth across the canyon and helping each other with route finding and passing packs along the way.

Soon the canyon took an abrupt turn, and I finally realized something had gone terribly wrong. My map wasn’t great, but it clearly showed no turns like this. Padre and I stared at the map for quite a while, before our hiking partners caught up to us. The Navigator pulled out his phone, and showed us the route. We were going the right way, but still had a long way to go before we hit the trail. Looking at the map I just couldn’t believe it, so I walked back a ways looking for a spot where we might have missed the trail. There was none and the canyon walls were sheer. Right or wrong, there was nothing to do stick to the canyon.

As we pushed forward, the canyon became a marsh, with shallow, scummy pools on one side and large boulder falls on the other. Both our groups had no desire to walk in the swamp, so we made do with the hardest scrambling of the day, this time made worse by copious vegetation. In the summer, when all these trees are leaved I sure it is very beautiful and peaceful, but in the winter, while we pushed through about an hour of swamp, boulders, and lifeless trees, it had neither of these qualities. Instead it was humid and still, causing the sweat to pour from our bodies and fog our glasses. As the canyon opened up and the swamp disappeared under ground, we were beat.

Both our groups kept moving forward, each walking a couple of hundred yards before between breaks. The Navigator’s phone said we were close and as Weaver’s needle came in to view, far more westerly than I had expected, I finally began admitting to myself that I must have really screwed something up. Padre and I were sitting down for a break, when our hiking partners came up and pointed to a couple of carins.

“There it is, the Cavalry Trail!” they exlaimed.

“Wait, you mean Dutchman?” I replied.

“No, Cavalry. Where, exactly, do you think we are?”

What we had done was excruciatingly stupid and simple at the same time: we had missed our intended route by exactly one watershed. The reason we had made this mistake was even stupider and more simple: I had memorized the route incorrectly and in the confines of the deep canyon, with no sightlines to prove otherwise, I convinced myself that everything was alright. Instead of hiking up Boulder Canyon, which in the words of our hiking partners, “Is actually a trail,” we had hiked/scrambled/suffered up La Barge Canyon, which met the Cavalry Trail closer to our intended destination. Unready for a trip of this magnitude, and with packs weighted for a different kind of trip, our bodies were just about broken. I don’t defend any of this, but what happened happened.

Looking back on it, there were many clues. The Navigator and I had confusion all day when describing where we were, but we were both too polite to clear it up. The sudden turn in the trail should have been, and was, a dead give away that something had gone awry, but at that point we were pretty committed to the cause. To the eternal credit of our hiking partners, they were very nice about what was a deeply embarrassing situation for me, cheering me up with a “At least you did a way cooler hike.” Again, I liked them very much.

Despite years of travel in the most remote parts of this state, this is the first time I have ever made this kind of mistake. There is a lesson here, I’m sure, about the dangers of being convinced of something, about how when you are sure something is true you can ignore warning signs that are obvious and apparent. This is probably a particularly timely lesson for this day and age. But as we sat on the trail intersection completely out of gas and still miles from the nearest water source it didn’t matter. We parted ways, us heading for water and them still trying to decide what the best course of action was. I never got their names, but I wish I had.

After a couple of miles walking along the Cavalry Trail, we finally came to a literal sign of civilization.

We had 1.5ish miles to go before we hit camp, but we were moving slow. Padre and I shared the last of our water, and took of toward Charlebois. We stumbled along, deeply thirsty and very tired, having finally hit the phase in the day where you can no longer really think, no longer really talk, but you can keep walking. When we finally hit the spring, our motor functions were so far gone that both of us dropped a Camlebak into it’s murky waters. We pumped and chugged from our other bottles as fast as we could, immediately making our selves sick, before filling up for the night. Despite the fact that there were several other groups near by we camped not far from the spring.

Expecting another kind of trip, Padre and I had lugged in chairs, vodka, and tonic. As the sun set, we enjoyed these vestiges, tried and failed to eat, and hoped our hiking partners would walk by so we could invite them in for a celebration. They never did.

In the morning we packed up and made our way back towards the car. We didn’t feel great.

All night we had managed to only hold down some cheese, crackers, and a tiny bit of vodka. In the morning we hadn’t done any better. It was a fairly easy 6ish miles from Charlebois back to the car, but in our state in took an embarrassing three hours.

But we’d survived. And that was good.

“Car camping isn’t.” That phrase, made semi-famous by one of the best blog follows on the internet, Dave at Bedrock and Paradox, was the mantra and moral of the weekend. With everything we needed (Editor’s Note: and a lot more) on our backs, stuck in a canyon we had never intended to be in, with makeshift friends we had stumbled into by chance, and no feasible choice but to keep moving forward, our bodies ached, our mouths were dry, and our fingers bled. I try very hard to avoid the “Why do I hike” question that plagues outdoors writing here on LP, but as we lay in bed the first night wasted, broken, and unable to eat one thing was impossibly clear: It’s good to be back.

EPILOGUE

As a personal note, I would love to thank the great couple we met in Upper La Barge Canyon in person. I’m pretty sure I owe them a nice dinner or at least a good bottle of booze. If you know anyone who might be that couple (male, slight build with short light hair and very short beard, female, slight build with long dark hair, both soft spoken and tough) that was in that canyon on 17th of February, 2018, feel free to send them my way.
