Twin Lakes Revisited Day-Day 52

The temperature extremes were from a low of 35F to a high of 70F with the 35F being attributed to the Beartooth Pass elevation of 10,947 feet.  The weather revealed the sun most of the morning, partly cloudy in the afternoon, and then in the late afternoon rain/sleet at the top of Beartooth Pass.  Gasoline purchased was at $3.679/gallon today.  This was the what's wrong with this picture again as the 87 octane was cheaper than the 85.5 octane.  It was a fun day for me as I had wanted to return to Beartooth Pass where my brothers and I had come some 40 years ago.  Traveling up the switchbacks brought back a lot of those wonderful memories like my older brother taking snow from the side of the road and threatening to throw it at me.  I also remember that the Twin Lakes were a beautiful blue back then.  The reason being it was August time frame and the snow had melted by then.  My plans tomorrow include National Monuments at Pompeys Pillar and Little Bighorn Battlefield.
Night everyone!
