Willow Mountain, Montana

I pedaled up Willow Creek today, up to the Lookout Tower at the top of Willow Mountain in the Sapphire Range, about 3000 feet of climbing.  Then I headed down towards Gleason Lake.  Patty, Lupine, Sen, and Berne were supposed to meet me on the trail.  I looked for them, their tracks, or a note.  Three hours later I found their note, about 3 or 4 miles from our designated rendezvous point.  An hour after that I found my family.  Better me than the Ravalli County Search and Rescue.  Patty may never walk normally again.  What a day.
