[Bob]

Well got back early, teaser doesn't show it..........Clouds, rain, hail, sleet, snow, wind. Did I say wind ? should be WIND. report to follow in few days................

 

[Nick]

Glad to hear you made it through! Can't wait to hear all about it.

 

[Mike K]

Ugh...sorry to hear about the poor weather and having to cut the trip short. At least it'll be a memorable one?? =) Looking forward to the TR as well. I was supposed to be in the Winds this last weekend. Maybe it's a good thing the trip fell apart...

 

[Artemus]

Welcome home Bob! Sounds like high adventure. Maybe uncomfortable adventure. Can't wait to hear details....

 

[uintahiker]

9 hours is enough to have the teaser up. Come on and hit us with the full report already!

 

[Bob]

[Bob]

We just got back. We where in Winds last week. We ended up doing an out and back from Elkhart Park. We had a amazing time. Our weather was pretty decent throughout, but we did walk out from Lower Jean under heavy skies through blowing snow and rain. Fishing was cold to Red hot!
Camped someplace different each night.
HOBBS LAKE
TITCOMB BASIN
INDIAN BASIN
ISLAND LAKE
UPPER JEAN
LOWER JEAN.
Loved every minute.
Pinedale was cool
Great brews at WR brewing
Trip report soon.
What a blast!

We were on north end of Hobbs. You must have been the party across the trail further north. We were in a orange REI half dome!

Cruel and unusual punishment I say! Nice golden!

Met one objective out of two on the trip........caught a decent golden, The lake I cannot mention the name appears to still have Goldens. Glaciers have to wait.
