I ordered a cheeseburger from Myles at the "ROAD CLOSED" sign, but he refused to go back up and cook it for me. No work ethic, these youngsters. Last edited by hightinerary; 07/23/13 10:02 PM.

The trail below base camp was a stream, had everything in backpack except a dingy. Interesting to see flash flooding right in front of us. We asked one guy going up if he had waterproofs, his reply, " no, just what I,m wearing" Good luck to anyone trying today.
