[Az-Geocaching] Who Woulda Thunk It?

[Joe Brekke]

As a native I can tell you that it can snow at any time, especially at
elevation.  Though I've seen it snow every month in my hometown of Cut Bank
which is only about 3200'.  It snowed on my birthday 2 years in a row -
that's August 13th...well known as a date of snow in most areas.  In 1979 I
got caught in a Memorial Day snowstorm.  Dumped 54" of snow on Rogers
Pass...near Lincoln and I had to stay for a couple of days there in a local
motel while they dug the area out.  Probably only about 100 yds or so from
where the Unibomber was hanging out, I'm not sure if he was there at the
time though...probably not.

Sometime in the next month or so Glacier Park will get enough snow to close
Logan Pass...at least the top of it.  Brian's right about Beartooth pass, it
will soon be hit pretty hard as well.  That is unless the drought continues
and it doesn't get it's usual snow.  Autumn is a neat time in Montana.  It's
a good time to go out and see a lot of wildlife as they are working to
fatten up for the winter, particularily the bear, Grizzly and black.
There's lots of freshwater salmon in MT lakes and streams, and they will be
about fishing those pretty hard to get the rich fat stored in those salmon
just under their scales.  Those lakes and streams, particularily in Glacier
Park and Gates of the Mountains areas are also a great place to watch Bald
Eagles fishing for the Salmon as well.  This is a truly incredible sight.

Have fun Brian, I miss it.  Though last week while geocaching I did walk
besides a creek on the downslope side of the coast range east of Seaside,
Oregon.  The salmon are starting their run and the creek was really shallow
there, only about 4 - 5 inches deep and I was watching the salmon swimming
up the creek.  They were pretty big, about 2 feet long or so.  If  I had
tried I could have walked up and scooped them up in my arms, I'm sure.  Neat
thing to see.

Your snow is our rain here, and we had about 5 days of it last week.  In
about a month and a half it will set in for good until late spring.  But it
sure does keep things green here.
