Taco Tuesday - because we could

Traveled towards the US border through the Okanagan River valley which we learned is as fertile as the Napa or Central Valleys. Grapes, cherries, apples, pears, apricots, and all sorts of veggies.

Crossed the border at exactly 8,300 miles and ended up learning as much about the CBP agent as she knew about us from swiping our passports, like being from Florida and spending time in Del Rio and SA.
Crossed the mighty Columbia River Valley and Grand Coulee Dam on our way to Idaho- even found more Luckies at the Dam Smoke Shop.

Burf! perused the extensive library and selected the St. Joe River for our ID exploration so we stopped at Blue Goose Outdoors for licenses and the obligatory $25 in flies which also came with some good intel, so we headed upstream.
Stopped at the Calder Store for Taco Tuesday, smoked in the bar because we could and got even more precise river info.

Although access was challenging managed to match the hatch and score a pretty little cutthroat!

Left 'em rising 

Returned to Calder for another smoke and got just a classic response to request for burger and fries... "It's Taco Tuesday, you want em hard, soft, or salad?"
Didn't want to impose on the guys eating at the end of the bar, so asked if they minded us smoking and they said only if they could have a Lucky which led to another hour of beer, stories, laughter and even a pilot vehicle back to our hotel in Harrison!
Shaun and Kennnny were good guys, but we've met good folks everywhere.
Because we could...
