Last Tuesday something happened that hasn't happened in a while...Karin and I realized that neither of us had plans for the upcoming weekend (our original plans had been canceled earlier that day). This is pretty rare, so we decided to take advantage of it and take a quick trip out of town. After some research and debating on where to go, we decided on taking a trip to Bath County...where I used to go camping/fly fishing on the Jackson River. Instead of roughing it we booked a room in the Hidden Valley bed and breakfast...right by the Jackson.

After fishing we relaxed on the front porch with Ron, Pam and their dog Sammy and talked about Ron's tour in Iraq. They are both really good people.
If you like fly fishing, and the country, I can't think of a better getaway...and if you really want to spoil yourself, the Homestead is right down the road.
