Gary's Story
Life
Retired in November 03. Since then, my wife Linda and I have been traveling about 4 or 5 months a year in our RV. We spend 3 months every year in Montana and Wyoming; flyfishing, hiking, photography, 4x4ing back roads and visiting friends.
Our favorite places to visit/camp/hike has been Yellowstone, Yosemite and Zion National Parks as well as the Eastern Sierra's and the California coast.

otography, four wheeling, camping, I've been known to do some target shooting and backpacking.
