A Day Off In May... In Search of Snow...

Things are looking quite green in New Castle...

About 5mn out of town I spot fresh snow in the hills...

Another 5mn passes and I get the feeling the recent 80 degree weather has done its job.

This is West Elk Reservoir, it was about 38 degrees here.

15mn from New Castle... ahhh... now things are turning bit whiter.

25mn passed and I'm hiking to the drop in...

Unpacking and ready to go!

A brief stop for a breath of fresh air... all those clouds earlier? I'm above them now.

You can barely see the line I came down on. Now I need to hike out...

2 hours later, and back below the clouds.

Back to New Castle.
