Hello Folks,
The thermometer dropped 40 degrees in one day this past week when a snow storm moved in and turned my little town into a giant ice sheet. I do not leave home without the spikey attachments on the bottom of my boots just to make sure I do not fall on my back.These past two weeks, I have been busting my bum to get back into shape and have done some nice snow hikes. Montana always surprises me as I found two new hiking areas that I did not know about before. They are Pine Creek West and Trail Creek which are in the Gallatin National Forest.
I hope you like the hard work.
Richard
