yes, be very careful - it looks like avalanche danger is pretty high right now. Scares me.

The trip was great! Great weather. It felt hot at times or was that the sunburn?:) Awesome people and funny too! Some wind Saturday but not bad. You guys missed out.

The avalanche by McGee Creek was cool. I was able to view it better going home today. It didn't look that high, but as I passed by it on 395 headed North this afternoon, I saw someone standing at the bottom and the snow looked to be 10 to 12 feet high where it stopped. Cool! Big chunks of snow too. I saw a Bald eagle in a field north of Bridgeport with a couple other large birds, juveniles? By the time I spotted them I didn't have time to get a long look.

Great trip, HD, I don't know who is more sunburnt you or me. Fun weekend, took too much gear as usual, great weather, very safe conditions in the valley, no av's seen, while cutting into the snow saw only a four inch layer from the last snowfall. Nice meeting everyone.

It was a great trip!! You meet the nicest people on the trail. I hope to be able to this more of the group trips in the future. You guys were alot of fun. I will try to get the pictures and video posted soon. ( I'm going out of town). My hilight was watching Ridgeline play human backhoe with his shovel for three hours clearing out tent sites.

Great trip, great company!!! I used sunscreen, and I'm still burnt! I also think that in a past life Ridgeline was the foreman of a chain gang!

Next time, hide the shovels!!!!

Speaking of, Ridgelines call about the weather was right; overall great conditions, a little windy on and off, but our construction project took care of that! It was fun to finally see Snowy do her thing on the board! Hikerduane, Ridgeline and Trailbud, thanks for making it, and thanks for the laughs!
