John -

I lived in Vegas from '96 to '01 - didn't even have rain to shovel. The snow in SE Idaho wasn't all that bad - it was the wind and the drifting that were downright nasty. Around here, what with the snow pack so far below normal already this year, I don't mind shoveling AT ALL.

Next summer when all you folks are out enjoying the Intermountain West trout fisheries, you'll be glad we took it on the chin for you !!

P.S. I was doing some research on the South Fork of the Flathead. WOW. Two days plus to hike in - two plus days to hike out - throw in several days to fish for wild and native Westslope Cutthroat, in large numbers and good sizes, and you have a week to ten days of lightweight backpacking. Hmmmmmm ........
