Tomorrow my brother’s two teenage daughters, Montana 14 and Sammy 16, fly out for a ten day visit. If you’ve read this blog for years then you know them both (story from 2010). Montana was on here ten days ago bluegill fishing with me in New Hampshire. They have been on fishing trips with me since they were toddlers however all of those times the parents were near. This is their first time away from home without the parents.
We’ll be fishing and hiking and having a good time. At least that’s my plan. My brother and his wife, and my wife for that matter, my mom and my sister aren’t so sure I can handle two teenage girls for a week. We’ll see. I like the challenge.
For starters, Granny and I plan to ease them into Victor. Then Thursday through Saturday, while Granny works, I’m taking the nieces backpacking in the Tetons. There won’t be a rod packed for this first adventure of their trip but I’m certain there will be a good blog to come once we return to civilization.
Next week these lucky girls will learn to row my driftboat and if all goes well (it will) we’ll head for the mighty Nunya River for a 40 mile long overnight float.
