Posted: Wed Aug 14, 2013 9:59 pmThanks for posting! I'll be camping at Newhalem the 26-28th and hiking the 27th - 29th. Looks like my plans for Sahale Arm and Black Peak may get cancelled and need to start looking into plan B!!!

I'm more sad about the Cascade Valley deal. Wonder when it will get patched up. Was there just last week, good thing I went to Jburg just in time.

Posted: Thu Aug 15, 2013 10:12 amYou have people who tell you this stuff. I gotta be the one who finds out on my own. 
Although sometimes I get clued in.

Posted: Thu Aug 15, 2013 10:17 pmWell that's probably why you're clueless then. Well, part of the reason anyway.
