Well, it happened again, and at the exact same spot.\u00a0 Lupe was on her way to Mount Theodore Roosevelt, but the G6 wasn’t going to make it to the parking lot near the summit.\u00a0 Even though temperatures have been way above normal in the Black Hills for weeks, snow and ice covered the road ahead.\u00a0 The G6 would probably make it through OK, but probably wasn’t good enough.\u00a0 Fortunately, there was a\u00a0spot next to\u00a0the road where SPHP could park (8:11 AM, 55\u00b0F).<\/p>\n

Nearly a year ago, Lupe had come to Mount Theodore Roosevelt<\/a><\/span> (5,680 ft.)<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0on Black Hills, SD Expedition No. 123<\/a><\/span><\/strong>.\u00a0 Back then, the snow was considerably deeper.\u00a0 A\u00a0red car had been abandoned on the road, high centered and incapable of moving.\u00a0 Even though conditions were better now, they weren’t good enough.\u00a0 SPHP didn’t want to chance it.\u00a0 No harm in using paws and feet to go the extra 0.33 mile to the parking lot.<\/p>\n

High clearance vehicles would have no problem, but the G6 wasn’t really made for this.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Along the way, Lupe came to a rare Mountain\u00a0Dew colored snowfield.\u00a0 There was even a plastic Mountain Dew bottle laying right there, left by the original artist.\u00a0 The green snow looked kind of strange.\u00a0 They say “Don’t you eat that yellow snow!”\u00a0 What about green snow?\u00a0 Green snow isn’t natural.\u00a0 Lupe and SPHP just let it be.<\/p>\n

Lupe made it to the parking lot\u00a00.25 mile from\u00a0the summit of Mount Theodore Roosevelt.\u00a0 A trail goes to the Friendship Tower at the top of the mountain.\u00a0 Two plaques telling about the Friendship Tower were at the start of the trail.\u00a0 The Friendship Tower was built in 1919 through the efforts of Seth Bullock to commemorate\u00a0the life and death of his personal friend Theodore Roosevelt.\"Plaque<\/a>\"Plaque<\/a>Not far from the parking lot, the trail divides and makes a loop.\u00a0 Lupe and SPHP took the SW part of the loop, which features a nice view of Deer Mountain<\/a><\/span>\u00a0(6,652 ft.)<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0and Terry Peak<\/a><\/span> (7,064 ft.) <\/span><\/strong>to the SW.<\/p>\n

A couple was just leaving the Friendship Tower as Lupe and SPHP approached.\u00a0 They stopped to chat briefly with SPHP.\u00a0 They commented on what a nice day it was, and then pointed at a discarded plastic water bottle on the snow.\u00a0 What a shame it is that people have the energy to bring stuff up here, but don’t bother to take it with them when they leave!\u00a0 SPHP agreed.<\/p>\n

The couple then\u00a0left empty-handed on their way\u00a0back to their truck, leaving the water bottle behind.\u00a0 Hmmm!\u00a0 It wasn’t their fault\u00a0the water bottle\u00a0was there, of course.\u00a0 They weren’t the problem, but then again, they weren’t the solution, either.\u00a0 SPHP resolved to pick\u00a0the water bottle\u00a0up, if it was still there later in the day when Lupe returned.\u00a0 No sense carting it all over the mountains.<\/p>\n

Lupe and SPHP climbed up the steep, narrow circular staircase to the top of the Friendship Tower.<\/p>\n

Even from the top of the Friendship Tower, the forest blocked the views in some directions, but there were great views in many others.\u00a0 At first, SPHP didn’t see Lupe’s next peakbagging objectives, Polo Peak<\/span><\/a> (5,410 ft.)<\/span><\/strong> and Green Mountain<\/span><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(5,325 ft.)<\/strong><\/span>.\u00a0 They were supposed to be practically due N and just a couple miles away, but where were they?\u00a0 SPHP saw nothing that looked right.<\/p>\n

SPHP brought out the USFS map\u00a0to try to\u00a0figure it out, lining up known peaks with Mount Theodore Roosevelt.\u00a0 There they were!\u00a0 SPHP had been looking for Polo Peak and Green Mountain twisted around on directions by nearly 45\u00b0.\u00a0 SPHP had been looking NW instead of N.\u00a0 It still didn’t seem quite\u00a0right, but the map insisted it was, and the map knew best.<\/p>\n

Now that SPHP knew where Polo Peak and Green Mountain were, Lupe headed back down.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Leaving the Friendship Tower.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lupe and SPHP followed a short path NW to the edge of Mount Theodore Roosevelt.\u00a0 The path led to a wooden viewing platform with a grand view to the NW and N.\u00a0 A field of boulders covered the NW side of the mountain just below the platform.\u00a0 Lupe needed to go N, so she circled over in that direction, but the boulder field extended over that way, too.<\/p>\n

\"Lupe<\/a>

Lupe had to go down the boulder field to get to Polo Peak.\u00a0 The rocks were only of modest size.\u00a0 Even some of the larger ones were loose and tippy.\u00a0 It wasn’t hard going down, just a little slow.\u00a0 Below the boulders, Lupe came to a fairly large snow field.\u00a0 The snow was up to 2 feet deep in a few places, but only 1 foot deep on average.<\/p>\n

Aspens were growing thickly at the lower end of the snow field.\u00a0 Below the aspens, Lupe entered a Ponderosa Pine forest.\u00a0 The N slopes of Mount Theodore Roosevelt\u00a0are quite steep, but Lupe was able to follow a spine of the mountain that remained walkable for SPHP.\u00a0 Lupe was losing elevation as fast as SPHP could go.\u00a0 The going was steepest as Lupe neared the bottom of Polo Gulch.<\/p>\n

\"Lupe<\/a>

Lupe found a dirt road\u00a0at the base of\u00a0the steep slopes down in Polo Gulch.\u00a0 On the other side of the road was a 15 foot embankment leading down to a level area full of aspens,\u00a0a few\u00a0pines, and a great many leafless bushes and brambles.\u00a0 Lupe and SPHP could hear running water.\u00a0 A brief struggle through the nearly 2 foot deep snow and thick underbrush\u00a0brought Lupe to Polo Creek.<\/p>\n

\"Lupe<\/a>
Lupe reaches Polo Creek. Melting snow had Polo Creek flowing right along at a good clip on this very warm early March day. This part of Polo Creek may well be just a seasonal stream.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Polo Creek was in the sunlight where the snow had already melted.\u00a0 SPHP thought Lupe\u00a0might be thirsty by now, but she wasn’t.\u00a0 She had been busy eating snow.\u00a0 Lupe and SPHP crossed the stream.\u00a0\u00a0Lupe climbed a\u00a040 foot embankment on the other side.\u00a0 It wasn’t too steep, but there was a lot of underbrush in the forest.\u00a0 Even after Lupe reached flatter ground above Polo Creek, SPHP had to wind around through the dense vegetation.<\/p>\n

Before Lupe could begin her climb up Polo Peak, it looked like\u00a0she might have to lose some elevation\u00a0again\u00a0traversing\u00a0a small valley up ahead.\u00a0 It turned out she didn’t have to.\u00a0 Instead, Lupe came to another dirt road.\u00a0 Lupe and SPHP followed it, since\u00a0the road\u00a0was so much easier than going through the forest.\u00a0 The road headed NE gaining elevation slowly, but steadily.<\/p>\n

Before long, Lupe came to a very steep side road that\u00a0went N.\u00a0 A sign said this road was closed to motor vehicles to\u00a0encourage re-vegetation.\u00a0 Lupe and SPHP followed it.\u00a0 The road started down in the forest, but as Lupe gained elevation, the forest thinned and\u00a0finally gave way to scattered stands of pines.\u00a0 Lupe entered sunny meadows with big views.<\/p>\n

\"Lupe<\/a>

The top of Polo Peak is rounded and grassy.\u00a0 As Lupe neared the end of her climb, the\u00a0terrain became progressively less steep and more level.\u00a0 The road gradually faded away.\u00a0 Here and there, small rock outcroppings rose above the open ground.<\/p>\n

\"Shortly<\/a>
Shortly before reaching the summit of Polo Peak, Lupe came to this rock outcropping. In the background are Mount Theodore Roosevelt (L), Deer Mountain (snowy peak on the far horizon R of Center), and Terry Peak (R). Photo looks SSW.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Polo Peak was sunny and warm.\u00a0 The brilliant sunshine made Lupe squint whenever she looked S.\u00a0 From the summit, Lupe and SPHP continued N.\u00a0 It was a very easy stroll on gently sloping terrain.\u00a0 Lupe was heading toward Green Mountain, her next peakbagging goal.<\/p>\n

\"Lupe<\/a>

Green Mountain is only 0.5 mile from the N end of Polo Peak.\u00a0 The entire territory between the mountains is forested.\u00a0 Lupe went down the N slope of Polo Peak staying a bit toward the W.\u00a0 She crossed the saddle over to Green Mountain and started climbing again.<\/p>\n

SPHP wasn’t certain Lupe would find any views up on Green Mountain.\u00a0 From the S, it looked much more heavily forested than Polo Peak had been.\u00a0 There was only one little opening visible among the trees\u00a0near the top that had given SPHP at least\u00a0a little\u00a0hope that Lupe\u00a0might find a view in some direction.<\/p>\n

As Lupe neared the summit, it became clear that the top of Green Mountain was not completely hidden in a shady forest as SPHP expected.\u00a0 Beyond the band of trees around the S end, the summit was flat and\u00a0almost completely bare.\u00a0 Lupe had sweeping, unobstructed 180\u00b0 views to the N.<\/p>\n

The glorious views from the flat, barren expanse on top of Green Mountain were surprising.\u00a0 Green Mountain had another surprise, too.\u00a0 Someone had used rocks to spell out names and other words.\u00a0 Not all of them were still legible, but SPHP could make out the following: Dannette, Trussell, Mexico, Seiler.<\/p>\n

Green Mountain, with its sweeping views, was a great place to take a break.\u00a0 Lupe\u00a0wasn’t terribly hungry yet, but she was thirsty.\u00a0\u00a0After a big drink, she\u00a0rested on the ground near SPHP, panting in the warm sun.\u00a0 Meanwhile, SPHP ate an apple while enjoying\u00a0the incredible views extending far out onto the prairie beyond the Black Hills.<\/p>\n

After a while, the time came for\u00a0Lupe to leave.\u00a0 She\u00a0paused for a photo at the summit before heading out.<\/p>\n

Lupe and SPHP took essentially the same route back to Polo Peak and Mount Theodore Roosevelt.\u00a0 There was plenty of time, so Lupe stopped for a few photos along the way.<\/p>\n

\"Although<\/a>
Although most of Green Mountain is rounded, there was a rather large craggy rock formation Lupe had to go by part way down the S slope. Lupe is seen here standing on a small portion of it. (It was easy to just go around these rocks.) Photo looks SE.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"After<\/a>
After summiting Polo Peak for a 2nd time, Lupe continued S to this jagged rock formation with a view toward Mount Theodore Roosevelt. Photo looks S.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Even<\/a>
Even though it was still early March, Lupe found one of the first signs of spring in the Black Hills on the sunny S side of Polo Peak. Bees were busy gathering nectar from these Pasque flowers (also called crocus). The Pasque is the state flower of South Dakota.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When Lupe got back to Mount Theodore Roosevelt, people were coming and going between the Friendship Tower and the viewing platform to the NW.\u00a0 At least a dozen people came and went.\u00a0 Lupe cooled off on the snow, while waiting for the crowds to leave.<\/p>\n

SPHP hadn’t forgotten the discarded water bottle.\u00a0 It was still there, plus a rusty beer can and some other trash near a picnic table.\u00a0 SPHP picked it all up and put it in the backpack.\u00a0 SPHP ate the last apple seated at the picnic table.\u00a0 When everyone else had left, Lupe and SPHP returned to the top of the tower.<\/p>\n

On the way back to the G6, Lupe and SPHP reached the greenish Mountain Dew\u00a0snowfield\u00a0again.\u00a0 SPHP had been picking up trash alongside the road and added the plastic Mountain Dew bottle to the collection.<\/p>\n

Even though it was still early, Lupe must have figured Expedition No. 161 was over when she arrived back at the G6\u00a0(3:07 PM, 66\u00b0F), but SPHP had a surprise in store for her.\u00a0 She was going to climb one more mountain today, one she had seen from Green Mountain.<\/p>\n

SPHP drove Lupe to Elkhorn Mountain.\u00a0 Lupe did seem surprised when SPHP parked the G6 again\u00a0(3:30 PM, 76\u00b0F).\u00a0 At first, she wasn’t sure if she was supposed to get out, or not.\u00a0 When SPHP encouraged her, she jumped out ready for action.<\/p>\n

Elkhorn Mountain looks like just a big rounded hill.\u00a0 SPHP hadn’t appreciated how BIG it really was.\u00a0 It took considerably\u00a0longer to get to the top than anticipated.\u00a0 Between the heat and the elevation gain, Lupe and SPHP went through the rest of the water supply.<\/p>\n

Up above the forest, Elkhorn Mountain really was beautiful in the slanting rays of the late afternoon sun.\u00a0 Some of the taller grass glowed an amazing orange.\u00a0 The 360\u00b0 views were wonderful.\u00a0\u00a0A bit of a breeze helped counter the heat.\u00a0 Lupe found what appeared to be a grave shortly before reaching the summit.<\/p>\n

\"Lupe<\/a>
Lupe came to this gravesite very close to the summit of Elkhorn Mountain. There was no sign, marker or plaque telling who might be buried here. Photo looks WSW.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lupe and SPHP spent a bit of time at the summit of Elkhorn Mountain.\u00a0 It was a beautiful way to end the day, with a pleasant stroll back down\u00a0to the G6 ahead.\u00a0 When Lupe got back to the G6 (5:10 PM, 76\u00b0F), her peakbagging exploits on Expedition No. 161 were over, but SPHP still had a task in mind.<\/p>\n

There was still time to return to the junction of Crook Mountain Road (USFS Road No. 176) and\u00a0USFS Road No. 176.1A.\u00a0 This was where the G6 had been parked a week ago at the start of Lupe’s Black Hills, SD Expedition No. 160<\/a><\/strong><\/span> to Crook Mountain<\/span><\/a> (4,930 ft.)<\/span><\/strong> \u00a0and Whitewood Peak<\/span><\/a> (5,140 ft.)<\/span><\/strong>.\u00a0 The intersection had been strewn with all kinds of trash.\u00a0 SPHP didn’t have anything to put it all in back then, but now had 2 garbage bags in the trunk of the G6.<\/p>\n

Lupe barked enthusiastically at many deer, cows and horses on the way to USFS Road No. 176.1A.\u00a0 Once there, though, she had to stay in the G6 while SPHP gathered up the trash.\u00a0 There was broken glass around, and SPHP couldn’t be certain it had all been found.\u00a0 It only took a little more than 1 overflowing garbage bag to\u00a0hold all the trash\u00a0SPHP could find.\u00a0 It was almost dark out by the time Expedition No. 161 was really, truly over, and the American Dingo was on her way home.<\/p>\n
