Went for a picnic today, we decided to drive up Greys River, Little Greys was trailing cattle up so we decide to the 90 miles of dirt road and another 40 of highway to do a round trip, not back tracking from and back to home.
We drive all the way to the head of Big Grey’s River drop over the divide from the Columbia drainage to the Green –Colorado drainage. We started up toward Commissary ridge and would have dropped into the Salt Lake Drainage but there was a long snow bank on the road a white ford pick up stuck in the middle of it. We walk up to help and the part of the road with out snow is soft mud at the edge I would slide in almost a foot into the mud the snow was hard and about 3 feet deep. The guy had one tire off the road and on up on the snow we offered him a ride back but he declined and kept shoveling. We turned around and drove the 70 miles back to the highway. Wee did stop at a guard station then at a camp ground and the host radioed dispatch. Guess someone got stuck there last week and spent two days then spent over $1,000 getting pulled out,
Saw alot of cattle just put out on the permits, deer, snow shoe hairs, humming birds and a few elk.

Sounds like fun, where are the pictures? Did all four of you go?
Will get them up, takes for ever to get them onto photobucket.
Thought about taking the horses up and pack into Corral Creek lake or Crow creek lakes but hear they are still iced over, Probally be the 24th of July before they are ice free.

Pretty country Jody, too bad that like here the snow hides it for so long. But then if it didn't you would be loaded up with hobby farmers.

Thanks.

The Labarge Meadows look identical to the high country range at the Gang Ranch and Big Creek BC. Know what you mean about stockpiled water.
