We had a lovely day exploring Ennis. We went downtown and walked up and down both sides of the streets. The sign says the population is 890, so it is a small town with a lot of character. Flyfishing is the name of the game here. Everyone we have spoken to who flyfishes says now is the greatest time to fish. Poor Phil is afraid to get in the water because of his back. One slip, and he could be right back where he started. He does not want that! We rode around looking at the public places where one can put in a float boat or wade in to fish, but the water is running really fast. I wish he would try just fishing from the bank..... I'd sure like to try my hand at pan-frying some trout! This one couple from California said just about every time they cast, they caught at least an 18 incher. Not bad!

We will go to Bozeman next Monday to get the oil changed in the truck and grocery shop. We will stuff as much as we can before we head into Canada Aug. 7. This will be the last chance to shop at a large grocery store and Walmart before going into Canada. Groceries and gas are really expensive in Canada! We did find out that it will not cost any more to have phone coverage there. Only my phone will work, though. Phil will have to take his battery out while we are there. I will not be able to use our e-mail or Internet without buying data coverage, though. We will just turn that off while we are there, but it will be good to be able to be reached by the children and to be able to reach them on the phone.
Looks like tons of character! I hope you're able to get a few trout! Sorry Mr. Horton is struggling with his back!
