[OM] this week's hike

[Mike Lazzari]

Pup and I went to Cutthroat Pass this week. It is in the lee of the 
major glaciated area of North Cascades Nat'l Pk so even though higher it 
is much drier and has a different climate. We managed to catch the last 
of the larches and beat the monsoon which abruptly begins about the 1st 
of November... we'll see what El Ni~no brings. Cutthroat Pass is also 
the beginning of the final leg of the Pacific Crest Trail and we met a 
few stragglers racing to finish before an incoming weather front. Snow 
could block the trail any day. 3@30+mi days should do it.
