We are celebrating our 30th day of our adventure.  We’ve driven 1581 miles so far and have been in and through 9 states.  We have fished 7 of the Trout Unlimited Top 100 Trout Streams:  our home river, the Guadalupe in Texas; 2 Georgia streams, the Chattahoochee and the Toccoa; and 4 in North Carolina, the Chattooga, the Davidson, the Nantahala and the Tuckasegee.  In addition to those 7 TU Top 100 streams, we’ve now fished 9 additional streams that could all have been in the Top 100.

More importantly, we’ve met the most incredible people along the way.  We’ve been staying in RV parks, forest service campgrounds, state parks, and a national park.  The camp hosts have been incredibly welcoming and helpful.  We’ve had the most incredible fishing guides.  Big shout outs to Chris Scalley of River Through Atlanta, Chuck Head of Unicoi Outfitters, Hunter Morris of Unicoi Outfitters , Harrison Beckwith of Brookings CV Anglers, Miller Watson of Hookers Fly Shop, Nick Johnson of Endless River Adventures and J.E.B Hall of Davidson River Outfitters.  We cannot say enough about their patience, their sharing and their enthusiasm in putting us on fish and keeping us safe as we hike and float the rivers.  The fly shop staff have also been invaluable in helping us get the right flies and pointing us to the best spots to fish when we trek out on our own.  Big kudos to Jimmy at Unicoi, Marc at Brookings, Walker at Davidson River Outfitters and Bobby at the Tuckaseegee Fly Shop.  We’ve made some lifelong friends along the way.

The SaraLinda has been our transport and our home for these 30 days.  Yes, we’re living in about 180 sq.ft. but in reality we’re outside most of each day either fishing, hiking, touring around or taking care of the RV.  Our backyards have been the Great Smokey Mountains National Park, the Nantahala Gorge, the Blue Ridge Mountains and numerous streams.

We hope you’ve enjoyed tagging along with us on this journey and will continue to follow us.  We’re headed to West Virginia next!
