I took my "free" bike I got from Bossman, and old but good Trek, to have different handlebars put on and get tuned up.
New cables and new brake pads, etc. The guy told me that it was too small for me...which it is.
But I'm not spending mega dollars on a new bike I won't ride that much. I just use it to save walking most of the time.
I "park and ride" when going to places like Kintla Lake in the spring when the road is closed.

seriously doubt you'll find me riding up to Logan Pass, or even the Loop.
Yeah, it was a bit weird about the mosquitoes. They were really bad.
I was at a point about 3/4 mile north of the bridge. High off the river where I wouldn't have expected them.
I didn't see any mosquitoes at Sprague Creek or around Lake McDonald where one might have expected them.
Better skeeters than ticks though. God, I hate ticks....and they
are out now.

Regarding the pictures of the Snyder Creek bridge...
I used my short little tripod with my old pistol grip Opteka ball head with bubble level.
That in combination with the A77's internal artificial horizon line/level made getting the camera "squared up" really easy.
I was pleased that the creek, creek bank, bridge, everything came out "leveled" well.
I hate it when pictures are even slightly "tilted" off dead level.
I'm learning....or tryin' hard
