Not much more to be said. I’m almost totally recovered from Sunday, which is a good sign.
The view from Sentinel was exceptionally fine today.
Spring has sprung, with emphasis. Snow levels are retreating drastically, the Clark Fork is brown and hungry at 30,000+ cfs, Rattlesnake creek looks packraftable (next year), and the flowers are going at it.
Bizarrely, this level descending the Sentinel massif was awash in small, harmless bees. Flying along at 20 mph, I became a mobile bee trap of formidable power. I’d stop, brush off several dozen, and continue on, only to do the same thing a minute or two later. Only mildly disconcerting as they bounce off your glasses, just remember to keep your nose down and mouth shut.
