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.
