8 inches/20cm of heavy wet snow has blown in 3 days after the ski mountain closed for the year. The drifts were well over a foot deep in some places and I had do a bit of “fatbike cyclocross” to get to town.

An endearing story
This 27 yo is running as a #progressive #Democrat in deep red rural #Montana
'Adams says that if he is elected, he wants to actually do things, rather than engage in posturing; he says some state legislatures “have been spending all their time waging performative crusades, especially against #queer people and #environmental causes”'
The twist:
He's the son of Stewart Rhodes, founder of the far right #OathKeepers militia, serving 18 yrs for Jan 6
Stayed late in town to play #ultimate frisbee and saw a nice sunset on the way home.

East Rosebud Canyon trail aka "beaten path" used to be busiest trail in MT. 45K thru the glacially carved canyon, then up onto the Beartooth Plateau, ending near Cooke City. Slices S-SW thru highest terrain in MT. Ravaged by 13JUN2022 flood, 11K has been rebuilt from 1930m start, to washed out bridge 2400m Rimrock Lake. A young man died trying to cross the outlet 3 weeks ago, still has not been found. Perfect conditions 10-15C not too windy 👍🏽. #hiking #dogs #climate #montana #wilderness
