    on the 4th :D

    I need to check Mammoth out one of these days. Supposed to be hitting Yosemite this year for my first time. We might do a winter expedition.

    you enjoy hiking through 20+ feet of snow?

    That's what snowshoes are for, to stay on top of that 20 feet of snow. Plus we can build snow caves. Weeeeee!

    actually, 1969...there was nearly 40 feet of snow here and my folks had to snowshoe to the house and break in the loft window which is 35 feet off the ground...it was a shitload of snow :shock: :lol:

    That's a nice area of the country. I've taken 2 trips out that way and it was just simply beautiful there. Wouldn't mind going back again...

    I had to go back and find my wife this weekend. She started on the east side of the range, I started on the west and we met somewhere close to the middle. No GPS, just topo maps. I had to run the moose gauntlet (3 close encounters) and she woke up with a sow grizzly and two cubs foraging near her tent, but otherwise no serious issues. I admit, I get a little worried for her sometimes, but she knows what she's doing out there.

    Norm, did you see some marmots? I can't watch the clip at work... Hoary marmots tried to steal our meatballs!

    That's nothing. I went camping in Maine this weekend at a resort camp ground and was surrounded by French Canadians.

    That's what I said. I was like, "lets just meet in the Tetons somewhere near the middle. But you know how women get, being all demanding about a plan and crap. I prefer to wing these things. What are the chances we could have missed each other?

    Awesome pic.

    You're welcome to roam about my homestate as long as you dont bring any Nickleback. I would love to make it through the Tetons one day. My son just made it to Kings Peak (Utahs highest peak) last week and we're headed to conquer a few 13ers in a week or so.

    If you are ever headed to the High Uintas, look me up. You are welcome to my crash pad.
