Above Rimini


Yesterday, at midday, four of us rode four-wheelers up through the mountain town of Rimini and into the high mountains.  Our mission?  Drive up the road until we encountered snow deep enough to halt our progress.
Within an hour we accomplished our mission. 
We drove back down through Rimini (technically a living ghost town) and climbed another road up toward the Continental Divide.
Mission repeated.
We have had a fairly cool spring here in Montana this year.  Several feet of snow, and some substantial drifts, remain in the forested areas of the high country. 
And getting stuck is more fun than you might imagine.  At least, that is so when you plan for it.
