Winner Winner – Meadow Vue Steak Dinner
But Wait, There’s More
As a follow up to our great raffle and fundraiser with our partners at Meadow Vue, I wanted to take one more chance to thank you all. The seven winners all walked away with some amazing experiences, objects and just plain old cool stuff.
Two of those great experiences are the subject of my blog post today.
Let’s start with the big one. A place I’ve been coming to since my son was in high school (next year he’ll be 50 – God bless you Jon). It’s an authentic place, a mystical place and a place where I hope a little vile of my ashes will someday rest. Drum roll please – Nelson’s Spring Creek Ranch in Livingston Montana. The photo below shows a remnant from my last trip. Dry fly of course, 7X tippet and you can guess the length (OK I can’t stand it – 21 inches).
The hosting now is provided from the third generation of amazing Nelsons. They are cattle ranchers that who also fish. They have been in the valley for generations. And they have a few miles of spring fed magical trout water. Easy to catch fish there? – not so. Worth every minute you spend on the ranch? – absolutely. So, thank you for being our top prize this year team Nelson and Mr. Givens, I hope you have an experience equal to any of my 30+ days on the “creek”.
