"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

2nd attemptSnowshoed to top of Methodist. Took two attempts. The first attempt we packed down the trail to the knob indicated as 10569 (maybe 3 miles one way). The second attempt broke trail to the summit.
The trail should be in good shape for awhile (until we get a lot more snow, or if the snow melts fast). The lower section of the trail (on the Rainbow Trail proper) is hardpacked and dry in spots. Do not get discouraged, since there is lots of good snow on the ridge.
