5 Nov 29th short hike

Pat/MayeBelle-Look, no snowshoes

Fire and Beaver Mtn.

Edge of 2002 fire

2002 fire falling apart.

One to check out in summer

 

Someone predicted snow falling in abundance.
We encountered sunshine and unusual clarity.

We were but three.
We walked snowshoe-free.

The edge of the fire of 2002
crept near to FDR 350 and stopped.
The remains are falling apart and over.

Next summer, some of us will follow
the snazzy sign that invites us to go
upwards to Beaver Mountain.

Next Monday, more are welcome to find
a new place in the snow--which may be deeper.

Bring snowshoes and hiking boots to
adapt to the conditions.
