Gold Creek

Decided last night to go for a ride this morning at 6.30 out the Blackfoot. I did not want to miss the big game for the youngest Sheephead (below), so I left early. It was blowing flurries and I decided to take a detour at Johnsrud and head towards the Belmont (another favorite area) rather then the usual Lubrecht area ride. I took a quick shot of Gold Creek entering the Blackfoot. Gold Creek (top post photo) is clear but rising fast. The Blackfoot is up and chocolate soup. I rode up to the Thibodeou Rapids and turned around to head back to Missoula. Cold, but not a bad morning.

Is this the Gold Creek with the old Primm place and ancient Ponderosas? My friend Chad Okrusch coaches soccer for some of the Butte kids--you might run into him some time.

The same! The Primm place is another one of my haunts. Love it in there. You really are an EcoRover!
