I thinking about doing the 395 drive again this weekend if I can get it together tomorrow, but I guess I won't be going to Horseshoe Meadows. ********* http://kathywing.smugmug.com/

Looks like Army will be snow free fairly early this year. You may want to start a new thread highlighting your trip and reference pictures of Army Pass for those hikers interested in the conditions as of May 13th. Thanks paul
