I'll take any info I can get, post away it's all relevant to the thread title.

Plan on coming back this way in the Fall after spending the summer in Montana.

Just spent 45 minutes trying to upload a couple images.
Haven't seen pavement for a couple days, just touring the back roads.

Woke up here this morning.

Still camping at higher elevations, @ 9750 ft we found this alpine lake last night along a ten mile loop road. Not much of a lake but it was all ours, the dog enjoyed it..
Good bit of snow still laying under the trees

Got a little sketchy getting out of there.
Dropped down the north side of the ridge for the last two miles of decent and started getting into some deeper drifts across the road.

Blew through about 100 feet of 3 foot deep drift, notta problem heading down hill. Had about 100 yards of clear gravel road then came to a 2 ft deep creek that ran across the road that had a steep drop off to get across.

Found a wide spot and stopped to contemplate our situation.
We moved a couple rocks out of the way and baja'ed the creek.
Didn't want to try climbing up the road through the drif we'd came down through, it was only a mile and a half from a paved road in that direction anyway.

First turn we made after the creek crossing we were looking at this.

[Linked Image]

We unloaded the bike and scouted ahead.
About a quarter mile of 2 to 4 foot deep drifts, one after another.

Side by sides had been through so what the heck, buckled up and went like hell.

This ain't no pavement princess we're driving, but the dogs starting to think we're crazy.

As opposed to the 'Sanguitch', which is Southern Paiute for their little known, early version of the Filet-O-Fish.

Sorry. Paul. I fought it but couldn't stop myself. wink

Jeff, looks like a fun time and thanks for taking us along. You get around, for sure.

Oh hell no.

Maybe if I decide to become a Mormon some day but that's doubtful.

It is nice country but Montana has it beat by a long shot so you're safe.

I'm just on my way to spend the summer in Northwest Montana as I do every summer, just like to take my time and check things out along the way.

I'll come back this way in the Fall and take another look about.

Maybe not this trip but you should try to get to Muley Point above the Goosenecks of the San Juan. It has been "discovered" by Them, so try to go in an off season time.
