Springtime according to the calendar. We had 15 inches of snow today but at this time of the year it doesn’t melt, it metamorphoses–to mud. It’s axle deep on our road right now as we enter the fifth season common to the mountains, Mud Season. It’s a little challenge but we love it. We don’t want the snow to depart too fast as we need it to keep the river, and fishing, great. So far, so great.
