Snow is melting like crazy with impromptu little creeks popping up everywhere. We took a drive up to Taylor Reservoir to check it out and it's still iced over, but they've opened up both pipes full throttle to let out water to prepare for the onslaught of the high mountain thaw. That is the really big stuff with flood potential since the April snowfall was record breaking this year.
The hogtrough was jammed with fishermen as it's almost the only game in town right now. Had to laugh at the gentleman in the photo with the
giant net - lots of confidence there, Mark commented.
Tons and tons of weak kneed little calves in every field. They're so cute! The ranchers are very busy now with branding, flooding their fields with diverted stream water, and raking the immense amount of manure throughout (done here for many years, but now called sustainable ranching.)
Went to Sherpa Cafe again. It's the Nepal restaurant owned by a family that lived near Mt. Everest. The daughters were cooking and serving that night. Great and different food served in this teeny place (no more than 8 tables). Momo's, Vindaloo (very spicy!), and Tibetan noodles. Yum.
Mark took elk photos from the car as we drove back into Star Mt. Good for him, they're so hard to catch!
