Fellow E-14ers:
Lolo Pass rises above the Bitterroot River on the Montana-Idaho boarder; two centuries ago, Lewis & Clark spent their second winter at Traveler’s Rest near today’s town of Lolo, right where Hwy 93 merges with Hwy 12. It was their misfortune, however, to leave their encampment too early to traverse Lolo Pass on their spring continued path westward (a decision that was almost fatal to them, and one that required them to retreat back to their winter encampment due to the heavy Pass snowpack).
Following up on my earlier snowpack reports to you, and consistent with the adage that a picture is worth a gaggle of words, attached is a graph that appeared in today’s Missoulian (our local newspaper) which shows that, indeed, this year’s snowpack at Lolo Pass overlooking our Bitterroot River fishing grounds is one of abundance, with over 72” currently amassed, making that a now-near record high savings account level at vaunted Lolo Pass.
This is GREAT news for us as we hit mid-winter stride here in Western Montana….let Rested Travelers beware, though!!
