Howdy, adventure seekers! Bill here, and I’ve got a little tale from our recent outdoor escapades. Last week, Marcy and I set out to conquer Carleton Ridge from Mormon Peak, but after a solid 6 miles and a “snow too deep” roadblock, we had to make the tough call to turn around. That adventure turned into a 12-mile marathon, and it ate up a whopping 9.5 hours of our day. The kicker? I didn’t even make it to the ridge!
Now, today’s a different story – no grand expectations, just a quest for the summit of Lolo Peak. This time, I’ve decided to go solo, leaving Marcy behind. Last weekend, she might’ve overindulged in something she ate, and I don’t want to push her too hard. She’ll join me for this hike again next weekend, and fingers crossed that the last climb won’t be too much for her. If it is, I won’t hesitate to call it quits.
As always, you can check out the link to the map online. Today, my sights are set on the Mill Creek to Lantern Ridge Route. However, there’s a twist in the weather forecast – rain! After over a week of clear skies, it looks like this trip might be a bit dampened, quite literally.
But you know the drill, folks. When it comes to adventures, we roll with the punches, rain or shine. Stay tuned for updates, and let’s see if Lolo Peak is ready to welcome us today. Until next time, keep exploring, keep hiking, and keep that adventurous spirit alive!
On this day in history, ‘Hey Zeph! Want an Action Wipe?‘ I asked, after cleaning the blood from my shin.
