That Oct. blizzard was the first one of the year. Although we didn't get to make the hike up in 2015, we still had a great time at the lower elevations. I have never had a bad camping trip - and that's the truth.

I'm leaving out tomorrow morning for the 8 hr drive to the Cottonwood Lake TH for my solo hike. Weather looks good. My joints are 70 years old. I may not have too many more chances at that mountain but I know I'll have lots of fun in my attempts.

Hope you had a great day yourself today.
