Out and about a lot this spring- some pretty good views.
this was down by Stevensville- Bitterroots in the background.
Had to stop in the road Monday morning to let the elk cross near St Regis.
Storm yesterday getting ready to blow thru the Big Draw near Nirada.
A lot of rain so far this year- some spring flooding and probably a bumper crop of mosquitoes this summer....
Beautiful pics. I haven't been up to the Rockies to visit my kin in too many years. I hope that will change this year. I can smell the rain in your last pic. Makes me want to grab a jacket from the truck.
I have a hobby of finding where photos were taken. It all started when my office at the highway department was adjacent to the aerial division. Determining the location of lost or misplaced 1:400 contact prints was my pastime.
Here's where I figger you were near. Of course this GE shot was taken from Rt. 203 and you were apparently by the tracks a mile or so closer to the hills.
no snow??? what's up with that???:confused:
I really enjoy seeing photos of others and their work environments. Like Mr. Cash, I can almost smell the rain. Thanks for sharing!

Everything but- Sleet and rain mixed for a bit up on lookout pass yesterday afternoon. Helping a crew trouble shoot their robot. They're doing a crack and seat project up there, I was originally on the PCCP pavement there in 1987.- 30 years this summer.
I was just happy the winds were relatively calm.
Ahhh, Montana's Banana Belt!
I have an Aunt who lives in Stevensville.
I have travelled and fished up and down the Bitterroot River many times over the last 40 years, and it sure has changed in some areas (less so in others). Beautiful country, and lots of good side trips originate in that valley.

Probably sounds crazy, but every time I see "Bitterroot" I immediately think of "Lewis and Clark" and the Corps of Discovery. 😎
Beautiful pictures.

Doesn't sound crazy to me...they spend some time in the valley, and (as I recall) crossed Lolo Pass.

Looks warmer up there than it felt all day today here. Something about drizzle, sprinkles and 30+ mph gusts will do that.

They spent time on the east side of the Rockies trying to find an Indian tribe to trade for some horses. On the return trip, they spent considerable time on the west side of the Rockies waiting for the snow to melt enough to expose feed for their horses.

They were just to eager to get out of rainy Astoria.

Ya - sounded like they were miserable. Didn't even explore the coast while they were there.
Between the weather and the thieving Indian tribes, they were very anxious to be getting home.
Sounded like if they set something down and turned their back for even a couple seconds, it would be gone.
