Sunny?

Hasn't voted

What happened to the sunny forecast? At least you got decent visibility and good snow. Nice shots!

	Hasn't voted	Well, figured if OR was going to be sunny WA couldn't be that bad!?!, so skined up to Camp Muir on Rainier but in the afternoon a storm moved in, barely made it out before dark . Skiing down in zero visibility and not exactly knowing where you go was a bit too much... haydar

Was pretty happy to get out of there without getting lost and before dark. Looks like you kept pretty busy too, Cascades to coast, rain or shine, good job! haydar

Snow Camping 'Back in The Day'

Hasn't voted

Your snowy photo reminds me of winter camping at that spot with my Boy Scout troop close to 35 years ago!

We had a climbing rope and gear and practiced rapelling off old foundation anchors for the lookout.

(Way back there was the main lookout at this site and the smaller wooden shack on Rooster Rock proper.)

Made a number of summer times trip to the Menagerie over the years. A great place.

You had some nice views as the clouds were not right down on you. Any day out is good, even with a bit of snow.
