Nearing the high point of the Butte. Bob is on the top!
Although the road to the TH is drivable by any vehicle other than one with very low clearance, it is rocky and VERY "slow going"--one could almost walk it faster than
driving it! :)! The flowers are just starting and very sparse! It looks like it will be at least 2 maybe 3 weeks before the flower show nears peak. Lupine, yellow desert parsley, bearded owl-clover, Big-head clover, Hooker's Balsamroot, a few sagebrush violets, and fiddleneck were blooming. Most of the many thyme-leaved buckwheat we saw had no color showing.
