If anyone out there is doubting just how much snow and rain we have had this winter and spring, just check out these pictures. A massive mudslide has closed US Highway 26/89 through the Snake River Canyon south of Jackson. Huge amounts of melting snow with a heavy rainfall on top of it caused the slide at milepost 127.
Early attempts to clear the slide have failed, and WYDOT officials have said that it could be many weeks before the highway reopens. As of yesterday, the mudslide was measured at 300 feet wide, 40 feet tall and 2,000 feet long. Check out this link to learn more from the Jackson Hole News. Here's an additional link to WYDOT to help keep you informed on the latest.
Rachael and I took the girls to Yellowstone National Park on Sunday for an outing up to Old Faithful. Here's a couple of photos that I took of the snowpack from the Lewis Lake boat ramp...impressive!
