New "What are you doing this weekend?" thread

[Gweedo]

Whetstone Mountain on Friday, Cairn Basin/Elk Cove on Sunday, and Pamelia Lake/Hunts Cove next weekend. Wooot!

Just a quick bit of info for anyone headed to Cairn Basin/Elk Cove from the Vista Ridge Trail. Last Saturday (8.9.08) patches of snow started about 2.3 miles up the Vista Ridge Trail. The attached picture is looking south where the Vista Ridge Trail intersects the trail to Eden Park and Elk Cove. There was still lots of snow on the trail towards Elk Cove. The trail to Eden park wasn't too bad though there were a couple places in the open areas where the trail heads down hill that if you're unfamiliar with the trail you might not figure out where you're suppose to go if you're one of those follow the trail types. By the way if anybody reading this was the person who left the note in the permit box at the trail head about the trail conditions thanks for the FYI!

As for me this weekend it's going to be Lookout Mountain.

I may be able to do a short bike ride on Sunday. But the rest of the w/e I'll probably be hanging around the house with a beer in hand and a bag of ice on my knee.
