Nice start to the year.… We slept late and then headed up Bamforth Ridge. Our goal was to get to the band fourth cabin which we hadn’t visited.… It was a beautiful day… Not too cold. Not much snow

We saw a bald eagle On our way to the hike… That was a pretty cool thing

We took a fast pace… And we’re glad we had our crampons on as the ground was covered with ice

The Bamforth say was really impressive. They were three tenting platforms and lean to shelter… And a table with bear boxes because the site is always getting visited by bear

I couldn’t resist making an anatomically correct snow angel

On one of the platforms… A bit cold but worth it

Dianne made a fully clothedsnow heart… Didn’t require her to get as cold 🙂

There were some beautiful vistas on the trail up and down

And we ran into some people at the Duxbury window and I promise to post this picture for them

We got down and as we were driving away we realized that the car that was pulling into ours but in the parking lot where our friends Nick and Katie…

We spent the rest of the day talking about plans and projects for the new year… Good prep… Now off to bed

Nite all, nite sam
