Great! Got caught in a big storm, but I saw it coming so bivied up in a hole. Built a nice fire and stayed out of it for a couple hours. I had hefty bags (safety jackets) in my pack, so gowned em up and headed for the truck.

Hefty bags saved my a$$ once on a permit hunt up the top of Chinook pass in late October. Snow storm rolled in along with the fog. I didn't have a GPS and got all turned around and couldn't follow my own tracks back to camp in the snow. Ended up spending a night out without fire in semi wet clothes. The two black garbage bags in my pack and extra thermal shirt made it bearable. Had to pass on 3 different bulls just before sun down and right at sun up because I thought I had crossed into a different unit that was not open.

Nice pictures and with all the cloud cover the snows going to stay around for a while!!

Its hard snowpack so the rapid meltoff is done. This will rejuvanate many bowls that need it. Bowls you and I have seen disappear the last couple years.

I was up cruising timber near Duval. I hit snow about 3800ft and worked around 4000ft elevation. Most snow is gone at that level, but there are still some drifts in places. A lot of water is flowing now.

Great pics and stories, Bone.

That bowl in center looks like where i hunt at about 6000 ft down the hill then up to get there,if that picture was taken from edge of trail with drop off.

Yeah, lots of snow still hanging around. Took my first trip to my high country haunts this year and was blown away. The same location a year ago had little to no snow. Gonna give it another look in a few weeks. Love the pics Bone
