11.14.16. Smoke and ice

11/14/2016

Whew!

The cold is kicking in, 48/28 being the temps recently. Bring layers!

Still no rain in the forecast, a chance on Friday but otherwise it should be sunny.

Unfortunately, some of our views around camp are stifled by smoke, the air quality is not great so if anyone is hiking up they should bring bandanas to cover their lower face, and definitely should pace themselves.

It gets frosty around camp at night too!

The super moon is tonight and everyone should go out and see it!

Llamas today and Wednesday.

It's our last full open week of the season everyone, it's been a blast!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit on Friday. Thankfully the smoke wasn't as bad that day. We enjoyed great views, and we can't say enough great things about the Trails Forever Project on Alum.
Thank you to the crews for all the work they have done the past two years to turn Alum into a much safer trail, and thank you to the crew for your hospitality at the top (not to mention great cookies, coffee, and hot chocolate)!
Hopefully when we come next spring it'll be warm enough for me to carry our son on our back!

Just wanted to say, before it's too late, I hope all of you crew members have a happy Thanksgiving and a great off season! Enjoyed meeting you all in October and enjoyed your hospitality. If you are back next season, see ya'll in October! And, welcome back J.P! I bet you'll be around there somewhere soon. Peace be with all of you. Safe travels.
