4 . 30 . 2015   Up past the Cub River, Idaho on Birch Creek Rd ...  We went as far as we could go before we were stopped by snow drifts blocking the road... We could almost get over the top of the mountain summit and down the other side but not quite ... short of getting to Mink Creek by about 6 miles is my best guess.
The day was so bright and clear and everything seemed fresh with new growth and greenery.  I imagined that we could cross over the summit with just maybe a hint of this past winter's snow laying by the side.  But alas, that wasn't to be and we traversed back down the way we came towards the west  .... to Lewiston, Richmond, Smithfield... and on to Logan..
