Kennedy Snow Alert

I'm getting ready to post a summary of today's daily activity report but if anyone in the Kennedy clan happens to be reading this, note: there is still an opportunity for you children and grandchildren to see snow -- in the middle of the summer, yet, from a Facebook posting:

BEARTOOTH PASS HAS BEEN CLOSED FROM VISTA POINT ON THE MONTANA SIDE TO LONG LAKE ON THE WYOMING SIDE due to falling snow on top of the pass plus high winds creating blowing and drifting conditions. Travelers on the MT side will need to turn around at Vista PT and come back down to Red Lodge. Travelers on the Wyoming side will be turned around at Long Lake. Updates will occur as they are received. Montana Dep't of Transporation and the National Park Service are both up on the pass plowing at this time but it is drifting as soon as they go through with their plows.

This ends the "Kennedy Snow Alert" but a picture is worth a thousand words"
