Gorgeous photos, Monte.  Thanks!  I could enjoy snowshoeing in that
environment, with a warm dry inside to "camp" in....

Never measure the height of a mountain until you have reached its top.  Then
you will know how low it was.

om/mad_monte1/_recent_stuff_of_the_week> If you haven't been up in Stehekin
in the winter , you are missing out. Not many people , lots of goats to see
off the boat as well as deer. Pace is slower and scenery is great. Got to
snowshoe this weekend with a few hiker friends and it was great. ( Nice
shelter at High Bridge is just right. I also got Ron's new 13 oz. pack with
the " Frontloader" opening which looks to be  a winner with no way for water
to enter top and easy to open up and sort through your pack. ( Of course
this weekend I took my old Jansport D3 out of retirement to load up with
camera gear and even dug out my old Optimus 8R to burn out the cob webs.. I
don't think I could do very good on a thru-hike with that D3 these days ,but
a might be able to manage 13 ozs. ( verses 6lb. 13 ozs for the D3)  Click
the little link for a view of what of Stehekin in Feb.
