    More ancient past from the archives, 1981 Beartooths trip

    Castle Rock Glacier is, for all practical purposes, gone. That bit of open water at the toe is now just another un-named lake. It was still most of a square mile of ice at the time. The ice in the upper end of Lake Fork still exists but it is much smaller. And yes, that was an early...

    More ancient past from the archives, 1981 Beartooths trip

    This was a 8 day trip that started at the same place as the 1980 trip, the Chief Joseph Trailhead. We stayed on the Beaten Path to Russel Lake, thence to Mariane where we camped two nights with a day trip up past Red Rock Lakes to Summit Mountain. The third night was spent at Big Butte Lake, the...

    The ancient past. 1980 Beartooth trip

    I have another trip where we were out on Castle Rock Glacier. At the time (1987), there was still about a square mile of ice. It is now entirely gone. Before and after shots of that would be interesting.

    The ancient past. 1980 Beartooth trip

    I have recently taken up the task of scanning my slides from the last century. Most of these were Kodachrome 25 which neither of my two dedicated slide scanners much appreciated but which the flat plate scanner seems to do an acceptable job-just really slow. This was a 1980 trip through the...

    Skiing Summer.........

    Twin Lakes headwall. Skied many a run on there but never on the lift-it wasn't built yet. I liked the runs off Beartooth Pass summit into Rock Creek better but you can't really yo-yo those.

    Pioneer Mountains, Montana <50" UTV trip

    Day 3. The only objective for day 3, besides getting home, was a look at the Birch Creek CCC camp. I did not look anything up on the web prior to our visit and was surprised to find it essentially complete, rather than a little rubble in an empty field. And an obviously...

    Pioneer Mountains, Montana <50" UTV trip

    Day 2. Bond Creek We spent day 2 off FS 7470 and 7471 in the Bond Creek drainage. Bond and Deerhead Lakes were the objectives. These trails were a little rough and the skid protection did get used. Torrey Mountain. Bond "Lake". Tweedy Mountain (highest point in the Pioneers at 11,154) lies...

    Pioneer Mountains, Montana <50" UTV trip

    This was a "beat the rush" 3 day Labor Day outing on Birch Creek North of Dillon, Montana (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_Mountains_). Contrary to the usual Beaverhead Deerlodge National Forest travel plans, the Pioneers appear to have been neglected thus far. We did not find any...

    Boulder Lakes, Tobacco Root Mountains

    A few last summer photos from two Jeep trips up Dry Boulder Creek (out of Twin Bridges, MT), the first early August and the second a couple weeks later. The destination was Upper and Lower Boulder Lakes. There was a lot of smoke for the first trip and quite a bit less for the second. Southwest...

    50" RZR to REDACTED and REDACTED

    I completely agree that most ATV/UTV/motorcycle riders I've encountered seem to be needing to get somewhere in a big hurry. OR be afflicted with some sort of right hand palsy. My 50" machine is set up more like a crawling Jeep and I don't suspect the speedometer ever much exceeds 10 mph...

    Tobacco Root Mountains South Meadow Creek

    50" RZR to REDACTED and REDACTED

    Day 2. We again retraced our path over the divide on FS 160 and dropped into South Willow Creek. We were on several miles of typical FS road here. Mine Peak with Granite Peak to left. And of course we couldn't get out of this without a couple of "kid" photos. Granite (left) and little...

    50" RZR to REDACTED and REDACTED

    My wife and I bought a 2016 RZR 900 EPS Trail several years back to use on BLM/FS 50" designated trails. It got severely baptized shortly after purchase and I spent most of the following winter modifying it into something that actually works. Fast forward to the present with my wife quickly...
