Grey clouds move as low as smoke over the treetops at Lolo Pass. The ground is white.
The day is June 10. It has been snowing for the past four days in the Bitterroot Mountains.
Wayne Fairchild is getting worried about our trek over the Lolo Trail—95 miles from Lolo Montana to Weippe in Idaho,across the roughest country in the West. Lewis and Clark were nearly defeated 200 years ago by snowstorms on the Lolo. Today Fairchild is nervously checking the weather reports. He has agreed to take me across the toughest, middle section of the trail.
When Lewis climbed on top of Lemhi Pass,140 miles south of Missoula, on Aug. 12, 1805,he was astonished by what was in front of him: “high mountain chains still to the West of us with their tops partially covered with snow. ” Nobody in what was then the US knew the Rocky Mountains existed, with peaks twice as high as anything in the Appalachians back East.
Today their pathway through those mountains holds more attraction than any other ground over which they traveled, for its raw wilderness is an evidence to the character of two cultures : the explorers who braved its hardships and the Native Americans who prize and conserve the path as a sacred (神圣的)gift. It remains today the same condition as when Lewis and Clark walked it.
The Lolo is passable only from July to mid-September. Our luck is holding with the weather, although the snow keeps getting deeper. As we climb to Indian Post Office,the highest point on the trail at 7,033 ft, we have covered 13 miles in soft snow, and we hardly have enough energy to make dinner. After a meal of chicken,I sit on a rock on top of the ridge (山脊).There is no light visible in any direction, not even another campfire. For four days we do not see another human being. We are occupied with the things that mix fear with joy. In our imagination we have finally caught up with Lewis and Clark.

A. The Rocky Mountains were wholly covered with snow
B. there were no people living in the western part of America

Theme park getaways are popular with families, but they sure aren’t cheap. Happily, there are some golden rules of ticket-buying that apply to pretty much every theme park, and they can help you chip away at the cost of tickets. 36
•Buy tickets online.
Never ever pay the walk-up ticket price at a theme park. 37 You’re guaranteed to save a significant sum—sometimes as much as $ 20 per ticket—even for same-day tickets.
•Buy in advance.
38 For instance,Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park, California, slices off $25 per ticket when you make your purchase at least three days ahead.
•39
This one is a universal no-brainer. Single-day ticket prices at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio,are about 30 percent less than admission on Saturdays and Sundays. But the big bonus is that lines will be much shorter, allowing you to spend less time waiting in lines and more time having fun.
•Go in the afternoon.
40 For example, Hersheypark,s sunset tickets allow entry after 4 pm or 5 pm, depending on the day. You’ll still get between four to six hours of fun before the park closes, and you’ll pay up to 50 percent less than the full-day ticket price.
A. Avoid weekends.
B. Buy more tickets than you need.
C. Here are some ways to lower your theme park spending.
D. At larger parks,you’ll save money when you buy a package.
E. Instead, visit the theme park website and print out your tickets before you go.
F. Some parks offer deeply discounted tickets for visitors arriving later in the day.
G. Most theme parks offer a price cut if you buy tickets at least a few days before you arrive.
