Montana is one of the most unpredictable climates I have ever been in. This state holds the world record for biggest temperature swing in the one day..over 100 degrees. Going from -54 to 49 in the span of 24 hours. We also had an honest-to-Crom blizzard on the Fourth of July. The point being that weather, in this state, is so unpredictable that I genuinely believe local news weather forecasts could be like this – “And now todays weather. Might be sunny, might not. Back to you, Ted.”

Here’s a gamecam shot from a week ago:

And a week later:

Thats a 50-degree change in less than a week. I’m hoping that the roads are now in such a condition that I can get up there in my truck rather than having to take the SxS. I’ll head up there this weekend in the SXS and see how the roads look. If theyre good, then the weekend after I’ll go up in the truck and take some camping gear and spend the weekend out there.
