Thanks all for giving it a read and I'm glad you enjoyed.

 

Edited the first post to reflect the winds are in Wyoming, (not Montana) - not sure where that came from!!  Must have had my brain on autopilot.

 

very very nice.  the weenie in me would be worried about the temps, but you seemed to have missed real cold temps

 

Goinoregon - yes, 19 degrees with snow one day, but overall sunny and nice - and I think that weather could happen any day of the year up there.  Bring your 0 degree bag!

 

I first backpacked in the Winds in 1957 when I was 11 years old as a Boy Scout.  I've since climbed Gannet Peak from Elk Heart Park, but now I can only canoe on the lakes and drive in and camp.  It's been a few years, but I'll be going back.  It's one of those places that is part of me.  Thanks for the photos.

 

Camper rich - Wow - I wish I could have seen the area in 1957.  I can only imagine things have changed a bit.
