A little after an hour after we started actually hiking it began to drizzle and would do so on and off all afternoon. John DeHo's shelter is shown here. It would turn out that it would funnel rain and snow rather well. 1702.");

The footing was pretty good, but with the high winds (especially over Bluff Mountain) it was quite chilly indeed. We would settle in at the gap to wait for everyone else to arrive. We had already made the decision that calling this the end-point would be prudent given the troubles some were having with the conditions.
