Coming:The Color of Darkness

I quit working on the Selway-Bitterroot Winter Crossing story in January of 2009. Discouragement and similar feelings have taken a toll. During the ensuing time I received numerous requests for the completion of this story. Easier said then done, but all right I will start working on the story some more. 6-16-09. rgl.

Presenting

Glacier 101-Winter of 2006: 6 trips/36 days in Glacier National Park: two near deadly experiences, standing on a river bottom with a temperature dropping below 0°F., crossing huge avalanche chutes on the Highline Trail in deteriorating snowpack, blizzards, above average snowpack, Ahern Pass crossing; here are 196 photos on 85 pages concerning all of that, plus a lot more, with a minimum of talk in-between to connect the photos into one complete story of winter survival.
