Costa Rica

 Every February My Dad traveled to

Costa Rica to fish. He did this even into his 70's

I kept his box of memorabilia  and found it the other day.

How like Hemingway he was.

Cameras, travel, fishing and full of life. 

He took us traveling too.

2 trips to California. Going the northern route from

Indiana and coming back the southern route.

I remember staying in Yellowstone in a cabin.

The girls were in their own cabin.

At night the bears scratched on the door.

That's where I met Merlin Olson.

I was 16 and he wanted to hang out.

Thank goodness my Dad said no.

I was pretty naive back then.
