Day 2, Willamette Backside
We don't have many days like this in January. Typical Oregon weather would be overcast, or better yet, full on Cascade snowstorm. Today could not have been nicer in the weather department.
Diamond Peak from the summit of Peak 2.
Yet, the fact remains that the snowpack is thin. Way below normal thin. According to Oregon Snotel, 30% of average at Salt Creek Falls. One could read the gauge as 27" given considerable generosity.
Dylan endorses RockStar. Makes you ride like a RockStar...even if you stayed up until 3am the night before. I avoid the stuff.
Looks like everything is topsy-turvy this year.
Looking up the line on Peak 2.
Dylan at the top of "Where's Waldo."
He is pondering "Where's Winter?" Definitely an unusual weather pattern this year. La Nina is um, underperforming here. I did read that Cordova Alaska has had 13' of snow so far. Guess we're just at the wrong latitude.
At any rate, hope springs eternal. At least while we're waiting for winter.
