“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and cheer and give strength to the body and soul.” -John Muir

Snow slips away, for now

Jason's Monday off during his four-day 10-hour cycle prompted the gorgeous pics from a powder blanket tucked around String Lake (below). He saw deer and elk during his two-hour hike there. 
Most of the snow had melted by this weekend and the photo (top) at Hidden Falls near Jenny Lake show only remnants of the wintry tease.
Weather forecasters predict more flurries tomorrow to accompany the ebbing ivory mountain tops.

If you can get that CLOSE...you should take up hunting. That nice bull would provide organic protein for the whole year. Just make sure you are packing heat on these treks (44 magnum) just in case you encounter a hungry grizzly....bear spray is fine but what if? I've posted one blog with the intention of sharing outdoor stories but just haven't found the time. theoutlandishoutdoor.blogspot.com

I know your mom and dad are anxiously awaiting their departure for the great northwest.

Take care,
