There be snow in Montana!

We have been preparing the way for our college students to come to camp for the winter. We had plans for what we needed to accomplish at the top of the pass, but getting there seemed to be the main task of the day. The last mile of road took us about an hour and a half, not to mention the other eight miles! There was much shoveling, fixing tire chains, packing down snow, clearing drifts in the road, and just a lot of driving back and forth in the waist deep snow until the trucks would finlly go forward. Did I mention that Montana's mountains are pretty beautiful all covered in snow? Well, they are. And after a lot of work up at the top of the pass setting up a large tent we got to enjoy the beauty of the crystal clear stars on the way down, not forgetting the fun of getting pulled in a sled behind the trucks. Enjoy the short video of our trucks forging the way up to Siegel Pass.

Send some snow HOME! I would love to see a season of snow. Any room in that trailer? I hear you need a flashlight to find your way around the trailer at night...smile
