Hey, come to think of it, I believe that the last time I saw you, I was heading up to the Ski Hut and you were heading down.

Tom: I thought your truck didn't drive south...  MC: be nice to these boys! They're fragile!  Hey, girl, would love to see you this weekend but I think I'm going to take it easy on the ol' banged up knee. Maybe finish the job on Mt. Alice or somethin'. Do let me know when you're going to be up OV way again! Alan: who's in charge of the scotch???  Big Moosie hugs to all down south, L

Alan: who's in charge of the scotch??? Please don't tell me that this means you are not planning on being there.

By the way (to two observant fellows) -- "was" is now "saw." But you did catch me fair and square.

I saw MooseTracks as last poster on this topic and I thought...she's a comin'!!! I was logging on to send you a PM asking you to join us. I totally understand but what is a WPSMB hike without Moosie! I'll definitely give you a heads up when I get back to OV and the beloved Sierras. Look forward to meeting those of you who show up! MC  Can I assume that snowshoes are not necessary (trying to keep my luggage light on the flight down and back). I'll tell you what -- I promise to leave my snowshoes home. Deal!

Hey Alan,
Check out Mike's website. He's done it a few times. Really cool website, it gives me something to dream about while I'm wasting away in my cubicle!!!!

Shall I FedEx a bottle of the Balvenie? On top of Old Baldy (1-20-07):  Hey -- Mike has been up Baldy. He's got the low spot next to Moosie.

Dave, that's one of my fave all-time pics! You know, it's hard to find good hiking partners, but a flying squirrel really comes in handy, say, when you knock you knee at 13K! ACK! BTW: weren't you and Mike both sticking all sorts of extra crap in my pack on that trip? I seem to remember coming off the mountain with a few extra rocks... Yeah, I think Mike might've done Baldy a few times... ...yesterday afternoon. Nothing like high-altitude laps... (who luvs ya baby!)

I am bringing three landlubbers that don’t own crampons. All have done the trail without much snow but we will see how far we can take them up on Saturday.

Weather report for tonight and tomorrow is calling for 5-7" of fresh snow. That would be sweet if it doesn't turn to rain. If I don't head to Big Bear for some last minute skiing with the wife, I may be up at Baldy.

Here is a link to the Mt Baldy Ski area. They got a dusting (1 inch) of snow last night. Check out the weather and the webcam. http://www.shopbaldy.com/

You can park on the road at Manker Flat and sleep in the vehicle if you have an adventure pass, you may also "disperse camp" find a place anywhere but Manker Flat campground (opens May). This was straight from the rangers mouth.
