Damn...that's rough glad you made it down safely.


There has to be nothing better though than being in big sky country and watching a storm roll through. It is a dream of mine to get out there to Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, the great plains of the Dakotas...beautiful country out there.



We've had some issues in our mountains from all the rain with Tropical storm Alberto. Mud/Rockslides, flash flooding, etc....in my area we've been getting great rainfall, it's been wonderful for the garden.
