    Tarryall creek, Florrisant, CO hang & fish

    Had a chance to go on a quick 4wd on China Wall route to an overnight hang and trout fishing excursion on Tarryall Creek just outside of Florissant, CO.

    The 4wd over China Wall was pretty cool, I have a stock '99 Wrangler that had no issues, I have seen longer wheelbased vehicles have to work it, but eventually get thru. The reward is well worth it, beautiful Tarryall Creek.

    Selected a spot to hang that was well protected since this was during the peak of monsoon season here in CO, and afternoon thunderstorms are quite common. This site is at about 9,000', so we'll below treeline too.


    My hang was in my WBBB XLC, with a 3 season Yeti UQ, a 2QZQ UQP, my 3 season Mamba all from WB, paired with my HG Standard C.F. tarp with some Dutch bling on it.

    Had a beautiful evening after some afternoon storms, and managed to find this little guy hungry for a dry mosquito pattern.

    Had a wonderful nights rest, with the sounds of the creek providingthe perfect balance of background sound for some solid hang time.

    Tied between two trees, beside a flowing creek with wriggling trout....I couldn't ask for much more.
    Nice getaway Heydad.
    Mountain views are good for the soul....& getting to them is good for my waistline.
