Winterfest 2004

“Some of the blocks I placed at the top of the igloo at Silver Snag were about 6 in. thick. Generally, the snow in the Sierra doesn't pack densely enough to make 6 in. blocks practical. They fracture too easily at 9 in. thk. I suspect the author was working in material on it's way to becoming ice.”

“Trash? Sorry to hear that we may have left stuff. I went around with a trash bag and asked around just before we left, but only got one small bit of celophane. Maybe we were snow blind.”

“It happened when the Tipi blew down, there was stuff left in it from partying that night. When we packed up to leave, we threw stuff into garbage bags and buried them so we could come back later and get it. The tent, stove, some food, pots, things like that....I forgot that we also threw the trash in a couple bags.

I just hadn't realized how much we had.”

“wannabp, ditto! I was going to feel so bad about leaving trash around because I looked around a well and the only thing that looked terrible was my frozen diet coke on the snow. But I knew that would just melt away.

mtnsteve, great pics! I liked how the snow turned out in the shots. I thought if we were all there together, we would have for sure been able to set up a complete bar with all that booze.”

“Nice pics Steve. I guess I'll have to keep dreaming about hikerchic, until I meet her.”

“Well, hey buddha! When are you coming out here next? sorry to have missed ya! Is your cold all better?

mtnsteve, boy that guy with the igloo sure needs a lesson in spelling, doesn't he? :) why do you think he makes a platform to put the igloo on?”

“I scanned pictures of the trip. Have one more roll of film but here are a few. I finally started a webshots page. Here it is:

Hope that works!”

“They look real good hikerchik. Can you email me a group shot if its still on your computer. If there is a size problem I'll just get it from you next time we see each other.”

“Nice shots, Drinkerchic :)”

“thanks jvz!

phaedrus! quit calling me that, you little brat!”

“Thanks for bringin it back! I want to go again, but work is demanding right now.”

“Great pictures and trip reports!! The only thing missing was ME!! See you at Winterfest05!!”

“Ladyhiker, how's everything going? Been thinking about you.”

“Yeah we missed you ladyhiker! We'll see you in the sierra's this summer, right?”

“I got my second roll developed and should have time tonight to scan them and post to my website. I'll post here when I've got them done. Can't WAIT to get my new digital! No more waiting!”

“I just posted more pics to my webshots page. It's http://community.webshots.com/user/hikerchic5”

“Way cool!

The "sun" photos are great and the people, camp and skiing pictures of everyone are terrific.



I'm still holding you to that dinner...........;-)”

“Yeah, those are great. :)”

“Nice pictures--I am fascinated with how you manage in that much snow--'tis cool (literally lol)”

“Just a quick note on the Ranger with the attitude.....

I saw him when we were leaving after our 10 day, he called me Sir, asked me to come and sit inside where it was warm and basically kissed my butt so much I still feel embarrassed.



But I liked it.”

“ROFLMAO!

That's gotta hurt his pride. LOL!”

“More pictures.
