What to do when your man is fishing

It is always interesting to me to find out what those wives do in their rigs while their men are on the Salmon River fishing for hours at a time. Of course we have good visits in the lodge and are even known to have a few good games of gin rummy, swap recipes or just chit chat about our family, careers and interests.

Gina Ellis, Utah is an accomplished seamstress and quilter and just happens to have a sewing machine with her. While at Wagonhammer Campground she created and sewed a Halloween Costume for her granddaughter and popped it in the mail. What a lucky grandaughter to have an original Halloween costume made with love.

Mickey Bruce from Rexburg, Idaho is also a talented quilter who while she is here has been creating some beautiful handiwork with her linens which will be part of a masterpiece quilt. Mickey several years ago presented me with a treasure wall hanging quilt which is hanging in our lodge for all of our guests to appreciate.

Karen Jahn usually accompanies her husband Bud but this past week Bud went on a guided Steelhead trip with North Fork Guides.  This trip was an early Christmas gift from Karen and was very successful.   Bud had wonderful stories to tell over next morning’s coffee. He was able to land several fish, thoroughly enjoyed his guide Shawn who was very knowledgeable and was a great chef to boot.
Karen who is a creator of beautiful jewelry worked with her beads during the day and shared with Deena and me her magical results.

It is always of great interest for me to visit with our Wagonhammer guests and I never cease to be amazed by their many diverse backgrounds and varied careers throughout their lifetime. Last weekend we had a couple from Tasmania who were determined to land their first steelhead which they accomplished.
They left with happy smiles commenting that we will “Be Back”.  We were glad they discovered our Wagonhammer RV Park on the internet.

It’s the people, our guests that make Wagonhammer a very special Idaho destination.
