There are times when the stars seem to align and all things good seem to fall into place. Such is the case this past weekend in Estes Park, Colorado.
The annual Tenkara Summit hosted by Tenkara USA occurred over the weekend of September 19 and 20, 2015 in two of the more majestic locations in Colorado, the YMCA of the Rockies located just outside of Estes Park, Colorado and Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP), the Crown Jewel of the U.S. National Park System ,the most magnificent locale in the great State of Colorado (in my humble opinion, I am a bit biased as I live within driving distance of RMNP.)
The Tenkara Summit brought over 200 guests to the YMCA of the Rockies to hear talks by some of the heavy hitters of the tenkara world in one place. With talks presented by tenkara greats like Mr. Yoshikazu Fujioka and Mr. Go Ishii, who both travelled from Japan to share their deep knowledge and passion for tenkara with those of us who might still be considered "grasshoppers."
The Summit held on Saturday, September 19 was a very full schedule with lots of excitement and camaraderie mixed in. The day started early yet the energy level apparent from the registrants was infectious.
