OK now I'm definitely squeezing it in. I won't be out there for the 3 months that Coop thinks I spend out there. Only a week this year!

I really like the image of Long's covered in snow. If I remember correctly John you
were there in June? We've all said it before, but it's amazing how long the snow held
in the high country last year.

Yes. This was taken around June 20. We had a lot of fun in the snow!

Really pretty, John. Photos like this make me want to rethink our decision not to go to the park this summer. Thanks for sharing!

What's wrong with camping in the backcountry??? I've never stayed in a cabin, lodge. . .
I like the furry critters as roommates.
