It has been about seven weeks since the Cuttie-Thon took place on a 27 mile stretch of the Grey's River in the northwest corner of Wyoming. The passage of weeks since the event has given me time to recount an amazing day spent on a wild and scenic river teamed with Mike Carlson and the mileage we completed together.
Over the course of sixteen hours we hiked and fished about half of the course and were able to take in this beautiful river valley step by step...and trout by trout. Images of this day will forever be burnt into the film frames of my mind.
Zac Sexton and his small group of friends and family (including support team) finished all 27 miles of the event on Sunday afternoon. Congratulations to them and their effort!
A special thanks to all those that supported "Team Fiberglass Manifesto" with your donations, phone calls, and supportive comments. You are appreciated more than you will ever know.
Another group of thanks goes to our gear sponsors for the event...Big Y Fly Company, Cliff Outdoors, Cloudveil, Jackson Cardinal Flies, Smith Optics, Osprey Packs, Petzl, Smith Optics, and Spot Messenger. This trip was definitely that much better for the use of your gear.

What a great experience! I am jealous!!
Maybe next time we can do it together... bring a tent! Let's finish the whole trip! : )
Yes...doing this event as a relay with several team members would make it much more reasonable.
Few rivers I have ever seen can compare to the Grey's River. It is striking.
Followed the link form Marks blog, awesome stuff here!
Looking forward to future posts.
