Jay, Michele, and Craig:
Thanks, sometimes it's just f'ing annoying to "hear crickets" day after day after posting pics and information.
That said, Y'all don't need to post something every time I put something up.
And yeah Jay, you know how much is involved with photos.
I've been trying to do a better job and it's a lot more labor intensive both in the field making the pics and then the post processing work.
Maybe it's the weather. It's been sucking the last few days and will be lousy for a few more.
Plus my back is screwed up causing me to have a pronounced limp since last Friday
I may hike up to Huckleberry lookout Thursday if the weather breaks and I can walk properly.
We'll see. Huckleberry has been getting snow and I'm sure it'll get more over the next few days.
That part of the trail after the saddle might get a little sketchy if the snow freezes up.
The GTTS road will remained closed from Avalanche to Logan until next year.
LOTs of snow has fallen the last few days and looks like another foot is coming.
It usually stays open to Avalanche until it's snow covered which could be December...or next week. hard to say.
Thank's y'all

The GTTS road is closed at Avalanche, and I doubt it will reopen to Logan this year.
Here's a few shots from the GTTS road from October 7.
These are from the North Fork area yesterday October 11.
The weather coming in this week should end "fall color" except for the western larches.
Windy and intermittent rain yesterday at Lake McDonald. The crowds have yet to abate. Crazy!
So I went to Polebridge where it was still crowded--for Polebridge.
The kids working there told me it's been a good year for the Mercantile financially.
Huckleberry Mt. near the Camas bridge
The light wasn't good when I drove by this spot.
Later, on the way home, two groups were stopped here taking photos in much better light.
The Mercantile was slammed with a "masked mob of social distancers" lined up outside when I got there.
I sat in Jaybird reading my Kindle till it calmed down.
The foil packet on the counter is my Polebridge "pig in a blanket"--a quite good brat in their home baked pastry.
Along the Polebridge road.
Big Praire on the way to Kintla Lake. I liked this shot ok, but the following photo is a much better image imo.
The light changed rapidly as the gusty wind brought in clouds and rain showers off and on.
I moved closer to the Aspens for this shot.
