The annual snow camping trip is getting planned and I'm excited at the possibility of creating another iglue. Two years ago I had the great pleasure of joining the clarke team at the base for new years with my good buddy Andrew and his beautiful polyester pants that everyone took a liking to.


Then last year we tried to forge new ground by going to Garabaldi instead of Elfin lakes but our attempts were foiled by too much snow. We ended up loosing sight of the trail and hunkering down in a clearing as we knew we could not reach our destination before sundown. The night passed and we all learnt a new skill building a quincy instead.


But this year we will go to familure ground and return to Elfin...Jeff and the team will again go before me and build the base camp and I will get to wisk in and celebrate the new year at the last moment again....hopefully God will grant us favorable weather.
