If there is no new snow and the roads aren't icy, the Longmire gate may open early. If they say it opens at 9am and it opens early this is probably why. What exactly did they say on the phone? Also, is the park actually closed or is the gate just closed between 9am and 6pm? The difference being You can still drive in/through the park anywhere a gate is not locked. Gates being locked for reasons based on driving conditions.

Fat Smittys, on way to Sequim. Good eatin'. Smitty Burger is gigantic. Don't even try to eat it on the road.

Evidence you present me, leave many hole friend.

Better scenery with just a little hike. Mt Baker Ski Area, Artist Point. Hurricane Ridge.

Heard a few people talk about this on Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell/George Noory. It is quite the touchy subject. Seems like the truth is in the closet though. Same might be said about what went on in New York also.

Went up skiing today. A lot less snow then when I went up after that late october storm. Rocks everywhere. This could help with navigation. Managed to dodge most. Skinned up from parking lot. A good soft 3" on top of a firm base from lot to just below Panorama Point. Here it got pretty wind packed. Turned around just past Pebble Creek ~7500 because of hardpacked snow and ice patches. Saw a few wands around this area. Skied to within couple hundred feet of park lot. The sun was out the skiing fun once below Pan Point. Life is good. And getting better. The snow report is calling for new snow. Possible four inches tomorrow, and five more by Friday. With increasingly lowering freezing levels. Possible 1000ft by Friday. That means snowshoes to Muir very good idea, not too fun without. Plus visibility might be an issue as well as the drive up pretty interesting. They are closing the gate at 6pm and if they get the snow they are predicting with the lowering freezing levels probably wont open the gate early. You won't be getting that 7ish start. Might not be the best day for Muir but would be a good learning experience. Might see you up there. Will most likely be going up if the forecast holds. Thinking of Mazama Ridge rather then Pan Point/Muir Snowfeild area though.

No worries. Always feel free to spray all over my threads.

Because they are DPS's and you want to get him back for not contributing to your thread.

I got also got a free car, but the anal probe is gona' cost ya.

I am looking into getting some pocket rockets. A friend of mine mentioned a possible problem with getting skins to fit properly around the tips. Any experience/wisdom on this would be greatly appreciated.

call 360.569.2211 for road and weather conditions today they said snow above ~5500 down to possible ~3000 on thursday Snowshoes might help. Crampons should be unecessary. They do close the gate in the evening. They have some maps(not good ones) with compass coordinates at the entrance. I might check it out tomorrow, so check back for more info tomorrow night possibly.
