Headed up to Lake Blanche today. Left trailhead at around 2:30, back at car at 5:45. Was semi packed the entire trail. Great winter hike.

Yes but I'm cheating because I'm taking a snowshoeing class at SLCC, but the homework isn't too bad

I camped up at lake blanche last year and I don't know that I have ever been colder.

I'm thinking about doing a moonlight snowshoe, back to Blanche most likely.

Right now the plan is to just hike, and the earliest we could go is sunday so it won't be a full moon but damn close. I took some pictures of fireworks in the valley on the 4th of July from Granduer peak that turned out well so I'll see what I can do.

I went up to Lake Blanche sunday night. Unfortunately none of the pictures show anything, but it was definitely an unforgettable experience, with a nearly full moon.
