There’s going to be a lot of snow in a lot of places, but early May is actually when most of the roads open (unless the Park gets hit with a late major storm or two). If you can wait until May 9th, then everything except Dunraven Pass should be open. This would make it much quicker to head down...
At least @Stone_Ice_1 ’s pace is consistent… Congrats and thanks for taking us on the ride! Honestly it’s been a nice change of pace and something I’ve looked forward to checking in on a few times a week.
There’s a lot of nice harvest photos in there this year, but I did notice that many of the people don’t have proper orange/pink on. I know people like to take them off in photos for some reason, but you’d think CPW would only publish photos with folks meeting the requirements.
Bigjay is spot on. The metro lakes really require a good period of cold to have solid ice so most turn to the mountains. Lake Evergreen is one of the closer mountain lakes but it’s mostly 8-10 inch stocked rainbows. Antero, 11 Mile, and Taryall have much better quality. When I lived there, I...

In my part of SE ID, there’s been enough snow that I’ve been seeing a ton of cows and calves right at the forest/sagebrush transition zone with most of them in small isolated stands of aspen in otherwise open country. I’ve assumed the bulls are still higher. And worth noting, this area is well...
Kinda odd to have autocorrect switch Bearfoot to Bigfoot by an account with the name Littlefoot. Maybe just a coincidence but seems like it might be a joker post? I sure hope so anyway
iPhone photo of a forky on private in CO 3rd season. Oh man I wanted him to move onto the nearby public.
I wonder if North Table Mountain in Golden still has a bunch of giant forkies? Some of them were studs
I sent this thread to an ME friend with some HVAC experience who’s considering a change of scenery/new job. Do post a link if you have it!
And out of curiosity, I peeked at Zillow assuming it would be a lower cost of living area. Boy was I wrong! I guess it’s still too close to Jackson?
