Seems like a much more civilized way to get to the top.

We all know that the Continental Divide was made famous by John Belushi's movie of the same name. Even though lower by almost four thousand feet than the Beartooth Pass that we were at, here the deep valleys make this area so dramatic. These towering slopes are pronounced in the movie were John stops for a smoke break right at the very crest. Thrown off balance by his rucksack, he falls for ONE HOUR to the bottom. For the way John lived, this was no big deal. At the bottom, he dusted himself off, re-lite his smoke, and then for that micro second, looked into the camera, lifted one eyebrow, and then carried on "reporting"


Grizzly claws can be three inches in length. Quite glad just to
read about it.

Getting a parking spot at WalMart during Christmas is for rookies.
Getting one here!!!!!!
Who has seen a grizzly?

I am always very conciensous of my well being and fluid intake. Seemed like on the climb up all I did was drink and P. At the top I didn't know if I wanted to direct it to the Pacific, Atlantic or the Artic. So I did the sprinkler.
More about my good friends at Clarkson's Cycle later.

Getting ready to head down. Can't wait.
