Close out of the sage grouse project has left an empty spot in the spring schedule. Got the call to tag along on a trip to check out some sharptail leks for a potential upcoming study. Had just enough time to do a couple loads of laundry, get some groceries, gas up the truck, reload the trailer and head back across the divide. Driving the Deuce

Glacier's Southern exposure






Bob's Eastern flank




Touchdown



Base camp established




Campground crapper; this could be a problem. I donate a few rolls to the cause




Poking around a bit until the rest of the crew arrives
