Dakota Still snow above 3700 ft Current Conditions Thursday, July 05, 2007
Many areas of snow above 3700 due to shade in treed areas. Hiked for a while and saw 4 ft deep snow higher up. Lots of water coverd areas so not enough to skidoo but to much to quad. Lots of Mosquitoes and Bees so take the bug spray. Lots of bees in the higher elavations.

Dakota Ridge Current Conditions Friday, July 06, 2007
Looks like some work has started up top. There was a excavator there last week and a big hole was dug. The road up had muddy spots where they filled in the ditches across the road. My SUV sank about 1 foot in muck. Was very hot and lots of bugs. Are they going to fix the road up this year.

Dakota Ridge Current Conditions Monday, July 09, 2007
Some 4x4s went up and drove on some trails and got stuck good. Please do not drive on the trails as they are built on pet bog. These Trails are designed for winter use and not safe for Rubber tired vehicles. Take care and have fun leave the mountain in same or better shape then you found it. Low impact is best.

Would be best not to smoke in the bush. The next few days will dry the bush out fast. Best to cook on a camp stove no fires would be best. Have fun be safe.
