Did an abreiviated tour in honor of mothers and the fact that the snow kinda sucked. Skinned around the northeast side through unconsolidated mush, with slight crust , with 1/2" new. Things were much more consolidated on the S and W aspects . Met some others who joined us at the false summit for the ski down. Fun short tour. Here's the whole gang trying to hitch a ride.
I guess we were hoping some one would stop in a large van or somthing 8)

I see a motley crowd like that by the side of the road, I lock the doors, roll up the windows and hit the accelerator. But I really like your first image, with all the competing diagonals against the fog.
Thanks for the report.

I thought those prison guys all had to wear the same uniform. Where are the bags of trash that they collected?
C'mon guys, we didn't look that bad... in fact we got a ride right away, no problem!!!. 8)

(Oh, BTW, my conscience is getting the best of me... the ride we got "right away" was in Evan's van which we had spotted on the way up ??? )

Evan's van rocks!! Usually I'm the one that has to stand on the road with my thumb out to catch the ride while everyone else sort of hides off the road. It would have been a real big surprise to someone this past weekend if suddenly 8 more friends jumped out of the woods to hitch up to the top too. ;D 8)
