My Last Mirror Lake Report This Year, Really

I just can't stay away. Saturday, after Thanksgiving.

This is coming from the Kamas side down the hill from Bald Mountain to the Mirror Lake turnoff. The whumping sound is tire chains. Although there were quite a few trucks with families cutting Christmas trees, people on snowmobiles, and kids on snowboards on both the Kamas and Evanston sides of the highway, only a couple trucks had been over the top since the last snow.



Lonesome little tree in the clouds near the summit.
















With drizzling rain all day, everything was clad in about an inch of ice. It was impossible to walk quietly on the snow as every step made a loud crackling and crunching sound as the sheet ice broke through.




Somebody's Christmas tree in a couple years.













The Upper Provo River is still running, barely.

You are nuts for driving up there in all that snow. I think you WANT to get stuck up there so you can test out your emergency gear you keep in your trunk.

I think you want to get stuck up there and have to try out your Survivorman skills. LOL I see Jaime thinks along the same lines as I do.
