Re: So what did you forget requiring those extra miles?
I was too embarrassed to admit it in the report, but it was my heavy down coat. I started with a jacket since I was going to be doing some strenuous trailbreaking and then when it got colder, I found out I had left my coat on the seat of the car. I don't know how I spaced that one, especially in February.

Re: So what did you forget requiring those extra miles?
I figured it was something like that :)
Don't be too hard on yourself though. Once my son went winter camping with the Scouts and forgot his too! I had to drive back and get it. His excuse was: "Well, it was warm in the car and I didn't need it." And then there's the Scoutmaster's son who forgot his sleeping bag and had to sleep in the unheated restroom with a thin car blanket!
My oldest son adn I did Boreas Pass several years ago in the winter and stayed next door at Kens Cabin. My wife and I just did Mt Bald last week for a nice summer day.

Awesome!Nice job. Especially for the kids. I agree more families should get up to the mountains in the winter.

Happy dayIt is a happy day indeed when your kids start breaking trail for you. I don't remember how long it's been for me, but it's been great!

Re: Happy dayIndeed. It's also nice when they carry more stuff! The parent's packs are getting lighter as time goes on.
