In exactly one month, Jacob and I will be in our 12th hour of driving, probably somewhere in Arkansas, on our way to Durango.

That means it's time to get serious about planning.

There are flies to tie and boxes to be filled.

Fly line to be cleaned, gone over, and possibly swapped from one reel to another.

Bamboo rods to finish.

Waders to be washed out.

Sleeping bags and a tent that needs to be inspected.

It's become that waiting period where the anticipation is overwhelming and the "to-do" lists have gotten longer than you planned.

Any fly pattern suggestions or must see places are welcomed!
