last 3 miles was completely covered
made it all the way to the gate at highway 88
2 weeks and it will mostly be gone
also got up to Leek Spring Lookout.
took 2 hours to get out to MET from there
also heard there was a fatality on MET Monday
local 14-year-old boy was driving (dad in the car and also younger sister with them)
hit a tree around Park Creek. the boy died
It turned cold really fast this week. I camped at the lake 2 weekends ago in shorts and Weds.//Thurs last week my car was frozen over. I’m only at 2700’.
First real snow. Close to a foot in the trees up top. Came down 8N30 to North South. Looks like more snow this week.
Anyone wanna head up this weekend?
