Mother of all Trail Crews.

The Forest Service truck will have four occupants as we head toward the trail.  Two more people, Barb, and Jeff will join us on the way.  We will attack the trail with six people, a new record. Barb and Jeff are good Canadian friends who just want to help the struggling U.S. today.  Like so many they are dazed by the insanity that has gripped our country.  The crew is still up against the same problem.  We have most of the trails under control at the lower elevations, but the upper end of the trails near the Arizona Trail take so long to get to.  Now winter is starting to set in and it will be even more difficult to get to the top.  Snow will soon be at the upper elevations. Snow should get the streams running when the snow melts in the sunshine.

Back home in Hazen it is apparently snowing and blowing. Happy not to be there.  The house may get eight to twelve inches of snow.  The Lake Roosevelt area is desperate for moisture.  The lake is extremely low, and is a reminder of when Lake Sakakawea had such low levels.

NPR radio is playing in the background and they are talking about how Trump is upset about voter fraud that let Hillary wind the popular vote.  For four years we will deal with that insane man.  The truth has no relevance to Trump.  Trump just makes up anything and shoots it out.  The simple minded soak it up.  One day he claims the sky is blue, the next day he says it is brown. All Trump's idiots forget that yesterday he said it was blue.  There has never been a more insane or blatant liar elected president.
