Well, given a weather forecast that includes a chance of snow and winds of between 60 mph and 100 mph, we have either a) chickened out, or b) shown great judgment – and called off the mid-October pack trip to the 20 Lakes area.
“UPPER TROF MOVING IN TONIGHT WILL BE ACCOMPANED BY STRONG GUSTY WINDS THIS EVENING AND RIDGE TOP GUSTS OF 100MPH AFTER MIDNIGHT….. WX TURNING MUCH COOLER SATURDAY WITH A COUPLE OF INCHES OF SNOW OVER THE CREST AND A DUSTING POSSIBLE IN [Mammoth] BY SATURDAY EVENING.”
