He built trails around Grand Jean, worked on the power line trails, bugged up in the forest, built houses, made wonderful creations in his woodworking shop, and always ranched. What spare time he had, he could be found in his wood shop, in his basement tying flies, out on the river testing those flies, in his chair reading a book or magazine, or usually working on a new project around the ranch.
