It was from Salmon, Idaho up to the Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness area. It was from wheels to backpacks. We did about twenty five miles into the area and then hit snow. The snow hid the trail as usual and -- more importantly -- SLOWED US DOWN TO A CRAWL. So at a trail intersection, we deliberated and looked at maps and thought and deliberated and grew our indecision and thought about how much food we had and decided, finally, that we had to head down Hell Roaring Creek. Which turned out to be a good way out, except for approximately seventy five downed trees blocking the trail. Splinters in the behind time. Then it was onto Mussingbrod Lake. We found a campground a friendly family who gave Vicky a drive back to our vehicle. And from there it was north to Helena to do a different section, the last hike we'll do with Jay who heads for Jackson soon to learn rock-building skills and trail maintenance with SCA ( Student Conservation Association). Mama Moab and Buck Mulligan shall take off through the Bob Marshall Wilderness and Glacier National Park, or at least we hope...
