So we met up early one Thursday morning, had previously been assigned drivers and riders and off we went. 

One of the hall marks of Linkenheimer and its partners and staff is the longevity of everyone who works here, and the close relationships developed over this extended time, so it goes without saying that we know each other pretty well. When placed in a new environment, doing something completely new, you find new-found interests, commonalities and life experiences; not to mention the hilarity of seeing a circle of accountants practicing fly fishing techniques on the lawn of the lodge.
