toodeep 1,758 Posted February 12, 2020 That even looks peaceful with the houses in the background. We have a little cold snap moving through the next couple days and then back to melting some snow slowly. I do have to say I'm enjoying the warmer days (uppers 30s) and the longer days. If it hits 50 for just one day I'm going to get spring fever and start wanting to get the camper ready. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Freedomflyer 1,885 Posted February 12, 2020 Hey, we don't just have winter here ya know, LOL! These taken in Glacier National Park. It's about a 5 1/2 hr. drive to the upper Northwest part of Montana. I'm sure Macarena Man has areas just as beautiful. This is Lake McDonald in Glacier. The waterfall in the 2nd pic is almost 500ft to put things into perspective. The lake in the 3rd pic is at the East entrance of the park St. Mary's Lake. Another pic of Lake McDonald at sunrise. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riverc 1,317 Posted February 13, 2020 Have not made it up that way yet,been all around the Rockies and mountains of Colorado.The 3rd picture I would love to Fish that lake.I really enjoyed the 4 years I fished Blue Mesa res. In Gunnison.Caught lots of Kokanee,Lake,Bown and Rainbow trout mostly trolling with downriggers Late summer to early October was chasing yellow perch. That's beautiful country and cool summers,I loved Gunnison 7700' did not need to use AC on my RV just leave windows open and fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Freedomflyer 1,885 Posted February 14, 2020 Been all over Colorado myself, amazing country. I did like Gunnison myself. Loved Durango, Silverton, Uray, all of them spectacular. I hope to go back through there someday with my wife. Was in Ruidoso New Mexico one time, another pretty cool place, woke up to 24 degrees, dropped down to Alamogordo an hour later and it was high 80's. A lot of beautiful country out there that's for sure. I guess that's why I put up with the winters here, it cools down so nice in the summer. Mid 20's here last night and slept with the windows open. Like sleeping cold LOL. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of beautiful country out there that's for sure. I lived in Roswell for a while in the early '80s. Spent quite a few weekends up in the canyon between Cloudcroft and Alamogordo rock climbing. On the other side of Cloudcroft in the foothills is a fast stretch of river where we used to camp and throw parties. The white water rapids there are so fast we used to ride them down on our backs while treading water just often enough to bob our heads up for short breaths of air. NM is gobs of fun in the summer! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same here, our red clay soil is ocean sediment layered over top of ocean bottom sand. Its still salty as all get out too. While I was drilling my well I bored through a layer of organic matter that turned out to be well preserved plant life. It weren't glaciers that shaped the earth, it was and still is active upheaval expansion events and steady H2O production from within that shapes our growing planet.

Bighanded 1,235 Posted February 17, 2020 I'm so confused. took the wife to the beach for the valentines weekend...only in the mid 50s, but strong sunshine...wind breaker to keep the windchill off of us...and just a couple weekends back I was on my boat on the lake doing test run of new motor...this kind of stuff messes with the brain when we are supposed to be in the death throws of old man winter. got home last evening at dusk and the wife wanted to ride the cart out back real quick to change out a particular trail cam that is catching a lot of bobcat activity...so with just a light jacket on...we're out there tooling around in the warm wet mud from more gulf rain systems that is bringing us 60s today..later this week we'll see 20s at night...this is a screwed up planet (grin) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
