That Saturday, we drove to Pocatello to do some recon work of the Pocatello 50 course. Beginning at the Gibson Jack TH, we followed the course route up over Kinport Peak to the City Creek TH, then back up and over Kinport to Midnight Creek and back to Gibson Jack. Other than a 4 mile stretch of 2 foot deep post-holing and a panic-stricken 4 minute bout of deer chasing by the dogs, everything went well.
Then on Sunday, it was over to Jackson for an 80 mile loop ride up to the Jackson Lake dam and back.
It was really amazing to see the volume of water being released from the lake in preparation for the record-setting snowpack to melt and flow into the lake. Thankfully, the preparation worked and mother nature brought very gradual warming which allowed for much of the water to be released controllably downstream without any major flooding.
