I'd be down for either Hood or Adams. Cabin fever is really starting to kick in and by that time I'll probably full blown crazy.....
As for getting from Hood to Trout lake its a very easy and straight forward drive. If you're asking if theres something like a bus route between the two I'm not sure.
As for Pico, how long did you want to spend in Mexico? I'm pretty sure I'd be able to take a decent amount of time off work so I'm definitely interested.
Oh hey Ben(Of the NW type) Get any ice climbing in over the winter?
