The cloud ceiling was real low. From the look of the snow pack in the mountains, I hate to see what happens if they have a sudden hot spell... they are already saturated from the spring rains with the rivers at or above flood level down stream.
The Teton River does not look too bad, probably the least dirty river we have seen yet on this trip.
Note the river is headed towards me, It hits the entrance to the bridge before going under the bridge. 2 years ago when we were here it washed away and they closed the bridge. Looks like it will happen again.
Here is the bridge in relation to where the water is hitting before going under the bridge.
On a side note, I called 511 for road reports upon entering Montana, and was surprised to hear in the main message that I90 was closed at the Wyoming border due to flooding with no detour at this time. Granted that is the other side of the state from where we were, but it just kind of goes to show how the flooding is in Eastern Montana. They are expecting flooding also in Western Montana upon the snow melting. Maybe they will be wrong, and it will stay cool, so the snow can melt slowly... hopefully!
