1st Week in Saratoga

We've settled into our new location at Deer Haven RV park, directly on the North Platte River, just north of downtown. I've spent some time relaxing time fly fishing up and down the river. I've caught a few small rainbows and browns, still looking for the the big ones. The fish appear healthy and well fed this year. I can walk all over the river in my waders. It averages 3-4 feet deep in this area.
It's been a few days since I posted. We have AT&T internet service and 4G service is not available in this area. I've found that many locations out west don't offer the kind of service we need. We may look into another service provider soon. In the mean time, I'm using the free internet from the RV park.

Bridge Street in Saratoga. Population 1690, elevation 6700', with no red lights or fast food restaurants, Saratoga is an ideal small WY town. There is some tourism, mainly for the fishing and hunting in the area. They are also noted for their "Hobo Hot Springs", open 24/7, and the best part, free!
 
 
The Snowy Mtn. Range, just east of Saratoga on Hyw. 130 is one of the most scenic drives in America.
