Pretty soon, we are going to be talking about a whole different pipeline other than for oil.
The body betrays and the weather conspires, hopefully, not on the same day.

The Columbia River is more valuable than all the oil shale in Canada!

Well, for me the past is a ghost and future is a dream and all I have is NOW (as some one put it). Enjoy while it lasts! I never saw this kind of snow in all these years in Chicago! Its beautiful, challenging and very very satisfying! Well, the whole neighborhood knows that I am crazy and two of my neighbors even followed me all the way to Mt. Whitney two years back!

I will also be doing HST or a variant, this summer, and looking for the best flowers. I was actually pretty impressed with flowers and fruit on the JMT last summer. I think its a stress response, but I don't know what will happen in this, the third year in a row of below normal precip. Let me know as you plans firm up.
Wherever you go, there you are. SPOTMe!

I am sending my permit appl on March 1 as the Ranger told me that they honor permit requests for July after March 1st only. Currently my choices are July 15th or any day beyond (as my LA cousins will be home around that time). I am applying for two persons starting at Crescent meadows and ending at WP in a leisurely 7 days! For best flowers, I was told its better in June. Keep me in loop about your plans.
Hope these rains would add some snow to Sierras. We are getting 1 in today and 7 in tomorrow! More x-country on Sunday hopefully! Never enjoyed Chicago winters this good! The Best so far!

We got a BIG DUMP here on the west side this morning (and overnight). Haven't seen it rain this hard in a very long time. Sure feels good!

Mammoth expects 35" of freshies
a few more of these storms and I may still change my April plans. Ionian on ski may actually be possible then.
