EISPIRATEN

Went to check out little jimmy camp ground early morning today. It was a little breezy in early morning. Thin crust ice cover but metling fast at the sun rise. About a foot of snow on the trail to the camp. At camp there were place with more than 2 feet of snow on north face slope. Nice day on the snow(or what left)

Here is some pictures:


On the trail


Tis looks eerie


Looking to the dessert north


And ofcourse the sign

Nice trip report and pics 8) , and thanks for letting us know the current conditions up to the camp. It sucks that the snow is melting so fast, my gf and I plan to go snow camping at Little Jimmy as soon as some new snow falls so we can try snowshoeing up there. Actually I should say "If some new snow falls!!!!", you never know with these extreme drought conditions that seem to never end..........

i heard scientist moved the summer solstice up to january this year.....


it needs to znow!

I think it has something to do with the 26 degree shift in the earth's axis.

Call me stupid, but what are those things?
BBQ's?

Rumple!
I believe those are the wood-burning stoves as I saw at Little Jimmy trail camp and Hogee camp grounds. They must be popular in the old days of camping. I would try to use it next time if I camp there. Perhaps, if it is permit.

The condition of the trails to the camp were mostly snow covered with a few spots of mud and dirt; the trail is in excellent shape. I only saw one set of snowshoe track and my boot/crampon track on the second half of the trail leading to camp.
