<DIV> I am writting from Brooks Lodge, getting ready to head towards yellerstone... </DIV>
<DIV>A few things:</DIV>
<DIV>Hot Lava- you know, the game everyone plays when you are a kid, you fall off the rocks and your foot disolves, but you hop and hop from rock to rock.. well, if you want to play a lovely round of Hot Lava, take the Lava Mountain route! I just got to play for about three hours on actual lava rocks! I didn't see any Griz like Iceaxe, but was pretty happy with my rock hopping time. The only difference w/ this game of hot lava than when I was a kid was that my imaginary consequences were not in the cards- no disolving foot when I fell off. But do beware, you cannot just say "re-do" to magically heal a sprained ankel or a skinned knee, so be careful on all those rocks!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Camera- Lou & Jas, you two are my heros & I don't know what happened to the email I sent in reply, but my camera is at my sister's house and the photos will someday make it to facebook, so be ready to see those big snake pics again. I cannot thank you enough! I tried to send you a magic barbie camera from Walmart in Frisco, but the cash register scanner thingy wouldn't ring it up and the lady wouldn't give it to me for free... someday I will be able to return a fraction of the karma I hope..</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Kanpsack Col- Has anyone gone over it this season? I got up into the titcomb basin, walked out onto a snow field and took one look at the cornice extending well into what looked like verticle rock on the north end and turned around to walk the 15 miles to cube rock pass. Sad. I wish I had more guts. If anyone out there has gone over it with success I would love to hear about it!</DIV>
<DIV>Ok- off to hopefully not drown in Buffalo Creek- assuming it's a go since Iceaxe is still typing to the CDT-l!</DIV>
<DIV>happy trails!</DIV>
