A "wish we had some hot chocolate" sort of day! (Susan Brueggeman photo)
Ten Swan Rangers hiked to Hall Lake on a slightly drippy Saturday, July 16, 2016!
They didn't find any huckleberries at all, nor would they lie about such a thing!

These are not really huckleberries; just a cheap Photoshop trick! (Susan Brueggeman photo)

The Swan Rangers meet every Saturday at the Echo Lake Cafe for breakfast at 7:30, leaving at 8:30 for a partial day outing in the northern Swan Mountains and foothills.
They carpool from the Swan River School parking lot next to the Cafe.
When hiking in bear country, remember to carry bear spray and avoid the 3-D's: dawn, dusk, and darkness.
Everyone is welcome!
