Tuesday, Gina, Henry and I skied 6 miles to Stolle Meadows cabin near the South Fork Salmon River. The drive in was blessed with a small dusting of white snow under a heavy gray sky. The air was breezy, enough to keep a chill.
Gina and I geared up ready for the ski in.
6 Miles later we came upon the cabin that will be home for the night. The cabin was outfitted with a propane stove-top, pots and dishes, a bucket drain sink, wood heat stove, solar lights, 5 sleeping cots, and a table with 5 chairs (which we used for drying racks). The only "complaint" we had was the lack of strategically placed nails to hang dry clothing.
We had a wonderful evening of food, white russians, and good company. Sleep would have been great except for Henry pacing all night long except for the brief moment he slept on the cot with Gina! (I am amazed at this interaction)
Wednesday, the cold (12'F) morning was clear and blue. Looking south towards Vulcan Hot Springs, the steam cloud billowing up from over the ridge was calling me to visit. I have never seen a spring put out that much steam in winter. So, after breakfast, off we skied to Vulcan Hot Springs.
Since there are many photos to be posted of the Hot Springs, I will just do a new entry.
