Unfortunately, most of my trips this season have had a sled assisted theme, but I've also made the most of the time after the commute. This past holiday weekend was no exception.  I was amazed at the terrain that the N.C. Heli Service had schralped.......bravo to the chopper folks.....Liberty Bowl was completely groped.  Rainy pass had some untouched goods in the Maple Pass area, but still a bit thin in general.

The Swamp Creek drainage was found most productive. James and I found some enticing gulley's leading into the "Swamp"....... he said that gulley's fit into the 80/20 rule. The gulley's proved to be very rewarding with much untouched real-estate.

Note that Rainy Pass and WA Pass can be easily accessed by sled from West and East.

The title in BOLD really makes your TR stand out.
