Lunch Break



Wow, the weather is holding out so my work project just keeps going. You never know when the snow will fly at 9,900 feet so I'm busier than a cat in a sand box.

My work day starts at 6AM (there were snow flurries this morning) and ends sometime around 6PM. I got caught on the mountain Monday evening in a rain/sleet storm and had one hell of a ride down a slippery slope of mud and boulders but made it out unscathed. Lucky me.

Lots of wildlife out and about. Mule deer, Wild turkey's, and...



85 Elk in a meadow far, far away.

Staying warm and dry...for now.

Gosh Jeff that is beautiful!!! I think you should have a Gear West/ SCS "alternative training" weekend trip for your next MT project. We're all pretty handy, you know!!!
Can we bring our skis? I mean, for AFTER we finish laying tiles or setting frame timbers or clearing brush??
