That ^ along with the 'clueless' pretty much sums up your 14er forum persona. Job well done, Capt., and in such a short time span. =D> #-o

its been such a dry winter, hopefully this will help us stay out of high fire risk season this summer for 2 or 3 weeks longer than it is currently predicted.

Thinking about posting a TR wherein I hike to the grocery store with flotation and my axe.

Hey it beats the 100,000 summer trip reports we get for grays, bierstadt, and evans. :lol:

I'm just hoping this storm actually means we get a couloir season, and that fire danger will be down slightly. I want that chicago basin train to actually run.

I think it's much more enjoyable to backpack in from purgatory or up from Vallecito and have fewer people in the basin. Feels more like an adventure and less like a concert on the grass at fiddler's. To each their own.

Absolutely, I'll also post my GPX and some waypoints for base camps 1-4. Wish me luck, I'm off to review the crevasse rescue section of Freedom of the Hills, which will undoubtedly come in handy.

"I felt as though I were plunging into something new and quite abnormal. I had the strangest and most vivid impressions, such as I had never before known in the grocery store. There was something unnatural in the way I saw the produce section and every fruit in it. I smiled to myself at the paltriness of our efforts, for I could stand apart and watch myself purchasing those Pop-Tarts. But all sense of exertion was gone, as though there were no longer any price tags. This diaphanous store, this quintessence of shopping - this was not the King Sooper's I knew: this was the King Sooper's of my dreams." -Espressice Selfzog, Annasoopa's, The epic account of a grocery conquest ~ and its harrowing aftermath.
