Hey Whit,
How much snow is still on the ground?
It's been in the high 80s and raining every other day for a while here.

WOOOOOW, 8kft elevation thats a whopping 2438meter. germanys biggest mountain "the Zugspitze" is 2962 meters high.
But the tree growing limit is down to 1900 meters (6.2kft)-I didn't expect that much trees still growing in that height.
Amazing!

Glad to see you able to make it down there dude. I know it was a muddy mess when I passed trough Atlantic/South Pass Cities. Between the standing water, mud and the ruts in the "road", wasn't sure I was gonna make it back out onto the highway! Especially the hill heading south out of South Pass City. That camper ain't exactly an off-road piece!

The "tree lines" here in North America depend largely on the type of trees doing the growing and the average temperature. On our vacation a few weeks ago, we went through Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. Most of the trees are either conifers or aspens and the tree line sits about 10,500 feet (3,200 m), as with much of northern Colorado. Southern Colorado has a tree line elevation of about 12,140 feet (3,700 m). Same basic trees, just a bit warmer for a longer period.

My dad is up In Alaska right now. Up there is Mount McKinley (Denali), the highest point in North America at 20,335 ft (6,198 meters). But due to Alaska's long cold winters, the tree line is only about 2500 feet (762 meters).

These pics were taken in Rocky Mountain National Park from the same point.
