One of many slugs out in their element! (Keith Hammer photos)
Nine Swan Rangers hiked to Mission Lookout on a very rainy Saturday, June 14, 2014!
They were joined breifly by a couple dozen slugs, but they just couldn't keep up!
Parking at Highway 83 and Porcupine Road makes a nice 8-mile-round hike of what can otherwise be driven in summer.

Unable to find the Swan Range from the Swan River School parking lot . . .
. . . the Rangers decided to hike into the Mission Mountains instead . . .
. . . slowly climbing into the clouds and mist . . .
. . . to the Mission Lookout, where visibility was, well, zip!
Fishermen on a swollen Swan River near Porcupine Bridge. Apparently a beautiful day for hiking OR fishing!
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!
