We are all from Rochester, MN. Though originally I am from West MI.

You're kidding! That's where I'm from as well. How long have you been in Rochester?

Great report. Glad to know we weren't the only ones who lost the trail coming down from Andrews. Now I know its hard to find if you came up and then went back down and still lost it!

I can't believe how much the glacier has melted out in 3 weeks since we were there.

Congrats on making Longs.

Got any pics of Andrew's from 3 weeks ago?

I've been in Rochester about 6 years.

Are you IBM or Mayo? :)

Haha...I'm a first-year med student at Mayo. I actually grew up in Rochester as well, but have been in Madison, WI for the last 5 years (during most of which I was in college). I am a product of the stereotypical Rochester family, though...Mom at Mayo and Dad at IBM. Are you at one of the "Big 2"?

fgrimes -

here is a link to my trip report with the pic... now that I compare them, it doesn't look as different as I thought - although the ice is creeping in from the right.

Wow! Quite an entrance to the forum, guamguam!

I looked through the first dozen pics and they look great. I look forward to going through the rest this evening.

Great reports...looks like you four had a great trip. I was struck by the amazing blue in the Long's summit photo. You can't see that color (at least not often) at lower elevations!
