That snow will all be melted by the 23rd right?

There was an article in today's local daily that the runoff and the reservoirs filling up is being slower then expected because of all the cooler then expected weather conditions as of late. So if you are heading here soon Scatman, then expect some white stuff to be around. Wishing You the Best!

All the snotel sites are zero or very close to zero..... of course they are not on the peaks.

Be prepared to see lots of winterkill.

Wyoming Range Winterkill Far Worse Than Thought: 80% Of Adult Deer & Nearly All Fawns Dead

Winterkill losses in the famed Wyoming Range mule deer herd might be far worse than thought with as many as 80% of adult deer and nearly all the fawns dead.

Drove up to McDougal Gap yesterday. Looks to be pretty good for hiking. I would definitely expect wet feet but snow shouldn’t be too bad. The upper reaches of the Wyoming Range Trail could still have some steep snow.

Looks good....

Dreamer ... How's the rest of the range look ... Should come along.

Thanks for the update @Dreamer . Looking forward to this one, and you should absolutely join us.

Got my snacks and breakfasts ready to go.


This includes: oatmeal, dark chocolate granola squares, parm crisps, plantains, okra, moon cheese, sour cream and onion pretzels, Cajun trail mix, energy bars (two per day), and of course almond and peanut M&M's.

No circus peanuts or hardtack? No Chocolonely? Hows about a small flask of **molasses for the mule?

**code for whiskey

You can get 30% off at REI if you buy $100 of Chocolonely - last day! OrJelly Bellies.

@TractorDoc is in charge of the circus peanuts, and since he is not going on this one, I'm just outa luck.

No whiskey. If I drink it @Bob may push me off Wyoming Peak! Or maybe Mount Coffin! Now that's a name.

Really? You are pulling my leg.

No for reals. If you spend $100 you get $30 off but it ends today. I’m going to buy $100 worth of jelly bellies.

And I said 30% earlier but it’s actually $30. Better think about it. Those bears up there are probably pretty hungry after sleeping all winter.
