Will be heading up to Lone Pine in a few hours, will do a little Moose hunting before dinner and then probably crash up by the Portal before heading down Saturday morning to get started. If you see us in town or at the Portal, stop by and say hi. Silver/Grey GMC crewcab. Hope everyone has a great weekend loaded with hikes and climbs.............DUG Everywhere is walking distance if you have the time. ~Steven Wright

Got my 12 year old and a family friend up for their 1st summits. TR later. Moose hunting went very well. All hugs and XOXOXO delivered as requested.........................DUG Everywhere is walking distance if you have the time. ~Steven Wright
