Greg’s friend Tex lives in a cabin on a 5 mile private private stretch of some of the most beautiful Colorado trout water I’ve ever seen. Species include Brown, Rainbow and Cutthroat.

This was my son Tobin’s first big overnight away trip, and he had an absolute blast, not only fishing, but also getting to know Tex and “driving” around in his super fast 4 wheeler.

My son is 6 and growing up so fast. He is watching intently and soaking it all in. I do my best to lead by example, but sometimes I fail, as we all do from time to time. There is only so much, as his dad that I can teach him about life. I’ve begun to realize the importance of introducing Tobin to men whom I admire and trust, who express good moral character. It is these men that will also help me lead my son into manhood.

This trip was a great introduction into manhood. I am blessed to have great men who can help me be great influences for my son as he grows.

In today’s culture (western culture especially) we have lost the significance of our walk into manhood. Many men are living with lost identities, and misplacing what it means to be a man.
