I arrived safely at home late last night, and only 90 minutes later than I thought, courtesy a stop to help a family change a tire in the dark (helpful hint to traveling families; always carry lights when traveling, especially headlamps).

This morning it feels like half of me (the thinking half) is still covering ground somewhere between here and Missoula, a feeling eerily similar to my state of mind during the whole Montana Road Trip 2010.

It’s as if I never quite got my feet underneath me.

Today’s going to be spent unpacking, replying to emails, catching up… Basically, the long exhale that comes at the end of every fly fishing road trip.

More soon. Until then, see you anywhere but the road, Tom Chandler.
