We have had a pretty dismal winter in 2026 - not a lot of snow in the Cascades - finally a winter storm dumped snow in mid-March - and with rain coming the following week - I finally got out snowshoeing up Commonwealth Basin. AND - the bridge over the creek washed out with fall storms and rain we had.
Went back and finally finished the video of Miles and I's second Llama trip - where we did a loop around the Sawtooth Mountains in Idaho. It was a beautiful and fun time - even if it wasn't easy for a 15 year old Miles.
June 2025 - I hoped for clear weather on the otherside of the pass. But 20% chance of rain became 100% and even turned to snow. So I never really got anywhere up Mineral Creek - too cold - too miserable. This video shows a little bit what failure is like.
