High Pressure

According to the map, there is a road way down that way…. you guys want to see if it goes?
The north side of the north fork is going to be fun after a few more low elevation storms. – The view from Barometer.
…but you didn’t come here for the scenic photos, so here’s Brian, proving that even several days after a storm you can get a face shot on a south facing slope. FKNA
Nice, creamy fall line wind buff for 1700 ft.
Allen and I got in on the action as well.
A rare photo of me.

As for allen’s hitch hiking, we were deciding which would be the best way to approach getting a ride: either having him show a little skin, or going all crazy style and running into the road naked with a rock in hand threatening cars (actually witnessed this in India). I’m not going to tell you which tactic he actually used though….
