Tree/Snow line
Tuesday, 9 October 2007
I’m proud to say JCB and I walked a piece of the Pacific Crest Trail, up above 6K feet even!
I admit we got not quite a mile away from Timberline Lodge (or the Wikipedia link), but for flat-landers from the Deep South, slogging through soft snow in sneakies was hard walking, as in soft sand!
Fortunately the rotten snow (maybe fresh last week?) wasn’t very deep, and my feet stayed dry. (Gore-tex in the shoes may have helped, too!)
I’m composing this sitting in front of the huge plate glass windows in the second floor bar looking up at the mountain. Life is darned good.
