Ready or not, here they come, and boy are we a-waitin’ for their arrival here in Extravaganzaland!
This All-Star cast of seasoned veterans, sans one, is highlighted by multi-year returnees (a) Joe “Compari” Ciatti (so named for us asking us many years ago on his first visit if we had any Compari and Soda available for him—an unlikely request in these here parts!) and his sidekicks Greg “Good Living” Livengood and his former college roommate Stuart “LA” Marlborough, (b) Walsh Vineyards Management guru Tim “Squawfish” Rodgers and his fishy, fishy, Yellow Hat totting daughter Mardi “CT” Rodgers, (c) Tom “Sockeye” Thornhill of Parducci Wine fame, (d) SF’s Devin “CPA” Sweeney and his beautiful bride Christine “Double Rainbow” Sweeney; (e) Marin County Good Earth Foods proprietor Al “Good Earth” Baylacq and son “Son of Good Earth” Dakota; and (f) Merced grape purveyor and processor Jerry “The Juice” Pantaleo and his great son “No Neck” Tony.
Not to be outdone are veterans Brad “Maven” Miller who, again, returns with his father Jordon “Sockless” Miller and, get this, a third generation together with the return of Jack “Son of Maven” Miller and, if that were not enough, they have reached out further into their family tree and have invited relation rookie (the only rookie in this group, gang!) Mike Querrey.
The rivers are now beginning to settle down in the greater Missoula area, so the Tattoos will be fishing local waters, but the weather has not, with rain forecast to greet Da Twos as they arrive tomorrow and thunderstorms scheduled to greet them during each of their three fishing days. Forewarned is forearmed, so no whimpering allowed all, as rain gear, multi-layers and boots of any denomination have been announced as the necessary fishing attire for each of the Two’s three days on the water.
Safe travels, Twos, as we eagerly await your arrivals and I will be there to greet you as you begin your extravagant journey into the flora and fauna of western Montana, Ritz Carlton style!!
Bring it on!!!
