Emily’s Old Home

The home that Emily’s parents built and that she grew up in was sold several years ago. It sits on a large piece of property next to McLean’s homestead. The new owners have changed very little since they moved in. We walked around outside to see where Emily spent her early formative years.

River Fishing

We went out for a little fishing on one of the many creeks that runs through Gustavus.  McLean got a nice big fish on a fly rod.  Emily and I played around on a rod with a spinner.
