Trip Report

Large group with great weather. I did not say great snow. Crusty and frozen is the best description I can give. But the roads were clear and I had more drivers then I needed. I had a few new people on the trip so I took sweep and Steve Johnson was very helpful by taking the lead. New snowshoes needed a few adjustments then they were off. I on the other hand had a pole problem. That was followed by a broken snowshoe. Darko, carry’s everything. With 2 zip ties it was fixed. Lunch in the sun at the bridge. Steve led everyone out to the edge of Gold Lake for the view. All the lakes were beautiful. Headed back to cars via the road. Zip ties got me about a mile from the cars before they broke. So off came the snowshoe and I more or less post holed out.
