And my apologies to anyone who had a telephoto lens on Colvin on Saturday...

Yes, spare us. If nothing else this trip report will have at least kept more inappropriate material from reaching the eyes and ears of delicate forum members.

Yes - I have a very understanding wife. With less snow this year, I am hoping to make it past the first major stream crossing (last year's highpoint of sorts).

One of my most favorite places. Enjoy.

You wouldn't need to take the whole deer, just what you could cook and eat on the hike. The rest you leave for any hikers after you. On the Appalachian Trail they call this "Trail Magic", when you find water and food along the way that people leave for the hikers.

thinking of taking this route up LWJ, thanks for the report. What shape is the southside trail in? what is the ease or difficulty navigating the damage on the trail.

Is the new fork in the slide now the preferred route, I assume the middle fork is still an option. which is better for solid but non-technical rock scramblers

Southside trail is fine. There is a little workaround the washed out part.

We took the new fork. Nothing too scary and the woods are always an option to bail to...
