good morning Polebridge

as the summer is winding down…
I’ve been told to be a guy that wears many hats: here we go again…
here is the annual group photo with Dean, Jesse, Daniel, John and Miles
a night in a tipi
… no words needed…

Big Thanks to REGI for these great photos:
high waters receding at hostel
the river waters peeked Wednesday afternoon and have been receding since… so far the temperatures are cool enough to slow things down enough to have a high but not unusually so runoff and keep the river in check… also it’s not quite over yet and still plenty of snow in the high country we will see what happens between now and the fourth of July!
Spring in the Mountains
Blue, the dog and I headed up to Glacier View today while Oliver, the cat stayed home cleaning and minding the top bunk in the greenhouse. As spring days go in the mountains there was just enough snow to tease us out on the trail.. 
hardly hit the snow when we stumbled upon a trail made by some creature just woken from a lengthy slumber and ambling through the bright mountain-scape. As we kept on the skies darkened and Blue started to question my sanity:
but once on top even the old lady is taking it in, even so there is no view but plenty of the stuff that makes glaciers. 
It blew so hard that our tracks were blown in a matter of minutes: spring in the mountains!
