Little Si — Thursday, May. 13, 1999

Snoqualmie Region > North Bend Area

Hey, Dan - I have your weekly report done for the first four weeks: snow - snow - snow - snow - snow - snow. Tried to put up the Alpine Lakes Wilderness permit boxes and only two trailheads are open - Mason and Pratt Lakes. The landslide across the Mason Lake Road has been cleared. Talapus Lake road has one to two feet of snow at MP2.9 with new snow falling. Gold Creek has three feet of snow right off the pavement. And Snow Lake or PCT-North, hah! So as not to make the day a complete loss, I headed up Little Si. There are many windfalls, especially through the log maze and much mud due to the recent snow melt. Salmonberries and trilliums are trying to come out, but they look really weak. A Steller's jay was flitting about the trees.
