Well, gang, the blessed event is getting nearer, and nearer, and nearer! So much so as this is my travel week to Montana, with your trusty E-17 black Lab Ma'am and yours truly, her driver, headed to Montana this Friday (yep, in less than 72 hours now!) to do the final prep for Extravaganza 2017.
And what do we have in store for ourselves, you might ask...and the answer to that is that the runoff jury is still out. In talking with our Montana Matters Troubadour Shane Clouse (who will be entertaining this year for Group Two as is his tradition), he describes this year's runoff as a steady drip off, with a consistent but not torrential volume of downhill flow.
Looking at our own Rock Creek, yesterday's flow was right at 1,610 cfs--not too different from last week's flowage even with 80 degree weather both over the Memorial Day Weekend and in the forecast for the next several days. Daughter Trina "Boots" Clausen (now a resident Missoula lawyer) reports over the weekend that waters she observed were high but folks were still fishing.
So the verdict is still out as to whether the Ones will "Go To The Mo", a decision that will probably wait until next Monday--the last day that I can cancel without penalty our already reserved motor coach transportation (as and if needed).
As for me, I simply can't wait to arrive at Headquarters and to be able to give you these updates as your On The Scene Reporter!
Best to all on the cusp of it all,
Rock Creek Ron
