Inspired by the Royal Basin post I thought I might try and find some turns closer to home. The Obst. Point Road to Waterhole is now plowed and for a little effort we were rewarded with some great turns on north bowls. Mizzle, fog and thunder showers are keeping the masses at bay. It's been raining plenty the past couple of days. The lowlands are getting a soaking on the North Olympic Peninsula which is unhead of for the month of July. The high country today was much drier than yesterday with good visability but begain raining around 4:00 pm. So...plenty of snow and it will be around for quite some time. I would be surprised if the road is open by the end of the month.

The first pic tooking toward Lillian was taken a couple weeks back.
