<DIV>Yeah, that seems to be the norm the past few years with people entering
Colorado or starting at Glacier a week or two in advance as it helps take the
presure off making it either to the end, or out of CO.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>From what I can tell so far, both Glacier and CO are less than normal, but
it would be remiss to think it's going to be easy going for a couple
weeks.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm anxious to start June 15th, but will wait it out a few days
if the weather's not ideal. </DIV>
