Catching rainbow trout on a “pink princess fishing pole” (Not available in your Orvis catalogue)

This August, the Marshall family loaded up the mini-van and drove to Colorado to visit my wife’s parents and sister. We had a great time hiking, trout fishing, and riding horses. We even rode a ski lift (which is scary when you see trees and rocks instead of powdery white snow below you).

Here are some photos to give you an idea of how much fun we had.

We’re about to the bob-sled down the mountain!

Count ’em: That’s six rainbow trout!

behind us (not in pic) read: “Watch out for rattle snakes!”
