Spring like ride in Montana

First ride of the new year. An exceptionally warm weekend meant a good time to ride and clear out the cobwebs. Some snow on the sides of the road in areas, but very ridable. I drove the same roads the next day, and much of it was covered in downed trees and snow....

Crazy horses on the loose.

These horses sure attracted the attention of all the other horses still fenced in...

Ice Fishing

Got a chance to try ice fishing this week. Didn't realize it would be so much fun.

Kent marking out the spots to drill the holes.

The crew waiting to drill

Could hardly warm your hands before another fish would bite.

Winter time!

A view from our street last week. This is why there haven't been any new biking pictures.

Blodgett Canyon

A nice cool ride up blodgett canyon. Quite rocky in places.

Challenging, but fun.

Note the blaze orange. It must be hunting season.

Thursday night Ride: Calf Creek

Well, the days are getting shorter and cooler; not too many opportunities to ride after work.

Had an unusually warm day on Thursday, temps nearing 70, while the rest of the week has been topping out in the low 60's or upper 50's, so we had to take advantage of that!

Sun sets a bit early now.

Soaking in the last rays.

Moon comes and the sun goes down.

High mountain meadow.

Winter is here!

Cars are all covered with ice this morning.

All the gardens have been harvested.

The remaining flowers are wilted.

Snow has dusted the mountain tops.

Winter is here.

No, this was not an attempt at a haiku.
