What a difference a year makes.

The road into the Uintas that I often take has a wonderful view looking back over the big mountains that characterize the Uintas.  I was looking back to last year's photo and was shocked to see the difference!  Last year's photo was taken on 7/11/11; this year's photo on 6/17/12.  About 11 months between them and you can vividly see the difference that the low snowpack this year made versus the record-setting year in '11.
