Final fling before school!


We went to Silver Dollar City yesterday for the last celebration of Summer. I guess the boys thought this picture was fitting since school is soon to be starting. Poor Brad, he couldn't go because of work and college. The jail of life has already slammed it to him! In the picture, L to R, Logan, Madison, Brayden Cole, Travis and Brook Cole.

Breakdown...the dreaded word when you're on the road!

After refueling on our way to a gig, the Suburban wouldn't start. The starter decided it was time to die. Not good when the schedule is tight! Thankfully, we were at Wood Shed gas station in Edna (only 6 miles from our house) and we were able to get Orin & Retha's van and Brad's car. We unloaded the Suburban, loaded their vehicles and were on the way again, only 30 minutes later. :)

Spring River Fly Shop, Mammoth Springs, AR

The guys enjoyed a visit to the Spring River Fly Shop, Mammoth Springs, AR. This is the fly shop, owned by Dale Sorrell and Mark Crawford, that Madison ties flies for. Here Mark is showing them a new fly pattern to tie. Check out http://www.springriverflyshop.com/

The Great Salt Plains of Oklahoma

Our last stop on this roadtrip was at the Great Salt Plains in NW Oklahoma. Here the guys are digging for Selenite crystals. All the white is salt...we know...we tasted it. :) It was a wonderful music roadtrip and vacation!

A definite fly fisherman!

While we were blazing a trail up the mountain, Madison was busy catching trout. He caught a total of 38 that day.

We made it!

Proof that we made it! Madison stayed down below since fishing was more important to him. :)

Which way is North???

Trying to decide which way we are heading as we start our climb up the mountain.
