I swear theres already a thread about this but I couldn't find it. Anyway the army just sent me to a new place so I'm sitting here looking at maps trying to scope out where I should try this weekend before my wife and daughter fly in.

Buck knives and fishing/hunting just go together in my book.

Never fished there, but quite familiar with Camp Funston, Fort Riley, and Junction City from training exercises about 20 or so years ago. Good Buck Knife choice for a fisherman's companion. OH

From what I've seen it's a nice place. Lots of history. I haven't reported in yet, so we'll see how rough the training cycle is, I've heard depending on the unit it can be rough

My dad always liked fishing the Gallatin River. There is a fishing access site at Axtell Bridge near Atkins south of Belgrade.

I would prefer fishing the Gallatin, and it's only a 2400 mile round trip drive from Manhattan, Kansas to Manhattan, Montana.

Plenty of history; the Constabulary Museum on post is about the only place you will ever see anything about the WW-II Armor Divisions that were converted to Constabulary Forces under General Harmon after the war. They pretty much reestablished control over the ex-Nazi's and the civilian population. Kind of a blend between an MP and an Infantryman and willing to use necessary means to get the job done (no commies, no Nazis, and re-establish respect for civilian law). The Dwight D Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum in Abilene KS is worth the ride and a a couple of days invested as well. I was never stationed there, just in and out for REHAT exercises prior to NTC rotations.

They had an interesting exhibit in one of the museums I've dropped by. It was about the history of toy soldiers, their popularity and production and their use military wargames. Pretty interesting actually.

Yes unfortunately the place gets packed with out of staters. Beautiful country
 
I spent a week fishing the Upper Madison, Yellowstone, and Gallatin Rivers years ago (maybe 1998), stayed at a refurbished railroad resort hotel named the Gallatin Gateway Inn. Wonderful trip. Arranged by R J Cain Outfitters in Bozeman - those folks knew how to put a great trip together. OH

My youngest son was living in Gallatin Gateway then. He has since moved into Bozeman.

Well I went out and scouted a few places to fish, forgot to snap a picture but I had my 112 slim select with me. I think I need to sell a few knives and get myself a small boat.

I had more fun fishing with a 12 ft aluminum Starcraft I hauled around in the back of a '72 Chevy 2wd 3/4 ton truck.
I'd go anywhere, with that rig.
Sometimes less is more.
