01-10-12 - Darrington, Washington
Wife and I went for a spin up near Darrington today.
Clear Creek
Up to FS23
Just an old snowmobile track and a skin track.. nice snow
floating nicely along
hard pack
getting to the fresh snow
started getting steeper..
up and up
you can just see White Chuck..
looking back.
floating nicely at 4psi
grade was a bit steep
bunny highway
3740ft. time to park. up ahead the grade steepens significantly and there is a lot of off camber exposure.. not something for a one-rig adventure.
White Chuck
Baker
nap time.. wife had about 20 layers on :p
brought the snowshoes but we didn't need them at all... 4100ft elevation
Pugh on the left
time to head back.. getting dark
guys flew over in a copter, wonder where they went

thanks.. I use a canon 7D, most of these shots were with a 24mm F1.4L. I converted my AC to on board air. if you don't air down to ~6psi or less you won't go anywhere in the snow. I usually start at 6 and go down to 2psi if needed. interesting, that bird was a ways from home. I flew over this area in a R22, hope to do it again someday
