The Iceman Cometh

This is one of the cirques, but I could only find a picture from a couple of weeks ago when we had a light dusting of new snow.
The one in the center of the picture to the left of that high peak actually used to have a small melt lake in the bottom, but that hasn't thawed out for a couple years now.

What a magnificent picture! Thanks for sharing!

We can see Mount Katahdin in Maine from a nearby field here...looks nothing like this!

This is a picture I took several years ago of the south end of the mountains. Kind of gives you a feel for the area. The Yellowstone river is running left to right between where I am and the mountains.


Still a pretty big and open country.

Wow, I'll say! Montana is a big part of "the Great American Redoubt" that Jim Wesley Rawles of Survivalblog.com refers to. I think he favors Idaho. Nice country out there, and BIG!

Both DW and I are from New England, many generations. So Maine was the logical place for us. I love it, so far. They're my kinda people. It's pretty low-population, wild, and picturesque for New England. Maine is a pretty big state, for the northeast, and my part of it is quite forbidding, esp in winter.

I,ve got to admit in a grid down scenario I would be harvesting ice and storeing it, I had thought about doing that before Y2K. Sometimes the old ways can be quite helpful.
