Right to head to mountains

Double Check

Ummm. I think we got rain coming

Too much wind to get this thing to stay

Useless thing

HELP !!!!

Left my good jacket at the cabin, never again

Kinda got em on

hmmm, is it stopping already?

I think we over reacted

Not being able to see over the mountain, we could not tell if worse weather was coming in or not.

Looks like its over, but hard to tell if for good


Kinda fun to have just a little scare.  Plus now we all agreed we have to bring our good jackets at all times


Back to trail head and its fine.  Oh well

On to Emerald
