We had a great opportunity to take Stinky the Snake on his first mountaineering expedition on Friday, February 19th. stinky kind of dropped in on us so we had to improvise his gear a bit, but with Mrs. Aper’s boots and Komodo’s snowshoes he was ready to tackle Cardigan via Holt / Cutoff / Clarke and back. Winds were gusting around 50 at the summit so we thought we might lose him, but he managed to stay on the ground & make the fire tower with no mishaps. This was also the field test for the new ‘little blue’ butt slide sleds and those worked out great on the way down. We were all very ready for yet another excellent meal at the BHOP at the end of the day.
