Yesterday went and visited my parents in Elijay for Father's Day. Nice day to go topless. Took the long way back over the mountain. Awesome views and a nice ride.

Went out and tried to get to the back side of Schweitzer mountain, made it to the 6k foot mark and got stopped by snow (none of us were prepared for snow wheeling) and quite the snow storm/blizzard complete with some wicked thunder and lightning. Turned around and went back down the mountain and had lunch at Moose Knuckle (chicken and waffles were the bomb). Decided to run up to Sundance peak lookout, made it to 6200 feet before hitting 14 inches of the devils dandruff, apparently no one has informed Idaho that it's now June
The SwayLoc worked fantastic but refused to re-lock when we got down off the mountain, seems it didn't like all the mud puddles we had to blast through getting up the mountain.

Dude, awesome view. We were hanging out over at the Montana boarder. We hit snow at about 5800 ft. Almost made it to "Idaho Point" but like you said got turned around due to Idaho not figuring out it is June already. First day of summer is almost here and we run into this. Almost makes me want to put my hard top back on. Maybe I can "will" the warm weather here by keeping the soft top on with no windows.

Was going to post the last pic up for the June Ride of the Month contest / TJ's in pretty places, but missed the deadline by that " " much.
 
I did not put the doors on… 44 degrees on the drive in, chance of showers. Snow levels dropped to 3500 ft. Come on seat warmers! Today this mod goes to the top of the list of the glad I did it! It wa summer just a couple of days ago and a couple more it will be summer again.

I can honestly say I'm not too broken up about the cooler weather... I still haven't got my A/C recharged since I put the new (to me) engine in my Jeep. I really need to take the hard top off and get the soft top on.

Yeah, this year really has me thinking about a new seat foam and heaters.
 
Doing hells canyon below the dam? Wondering how the water flows are, could be pretty spicy

Yep did it 2 yrs ago. We got 1/2 way up and had to wait for the dam to release some water. While waiting in the shore my buddy caught a 350# Sturgeon. Boat captain said it was the largest he had seen. Helped my friend build his house on Lake Cascade across from Tamarack ski area the last 2 yrs and I now have a free place to stay. House is finished so I’ll be helping him with the finish grading around the lot this trip.
