Went camping and kayaking on the MT/ID border over the weekend. Still plenty of snow in the high country. We had a week of nice weather - really nice weather. Its thursday evening now and they are calling for this area to get hit with 3ft of spring snow tonight. Got to love the weather around here!
We slid down a big hill on Saturday, this was Sunday morning, it was already too hot. This section was four full winch pulls, the photo of course doesn't show how steep it is. Jesse (the Toyota) doesn't have a winch, so we used the rear winch on the Brute. Photo was taken at about 6900 ft. The best thing about deep snow is that all the underbrush is long gone.

This photo was on Saturday afternoon, I was here a few weeks ago and there was several more feet of snow, this photo was taken at about 5000 ft.

Here was a drift down low that was pretty sketchy if you fell off to the right...you probably were not going to stop :) If you look close you can see Dave Dog wishing I had let him out of his kennel before going over this section.

Camp. This photo was taken at about 10:00 in the evening. 46 33.648N 114 27.670W for you Google Earth types. Got to test out the new ARB tent, it was pretty nice. Its a parachute on the highway, but good to have at night.
247
Got a fire going, even though it only dropped into the high 50s overnight. In the morning, the fire was about 5 ft lower than in this photo. Total snow depth was around 9 ft here.
