It took us about a hour and half to go between Elbow and Humerus (the name is a play on words with the two peaks it sits between – the humerus is the bone of the upper arm, one of the bones connected to the elbow joint and is a homonym to humorous which is a synonym of jolly).

Well, it makes complete sense to an orthopedic surgeon. hockeygrin.gif Looks like a great trip and great pics from all.

Maybe they were long sleeved but they all ended up sleeveless through no fault of his own?

Our momentum came to a grinding halt as we trudged up unbroken, knee deep, hard, wet snow . up.gif Winter's here in places. I often joke when were way out there on dayhikes, once you are on the summit, I'll say, well were halfway done. winksmile.gif

The History of the Sleeveless Shirts: Back when Babe and I were Q-Tips (newbie hikers that wear cotton), I had a favorite green cotton shirt that I liked to wear hiking. One day on the trail, Babe had to pee but we had forgotten to pack any t.p. I ripped the sleeve of my shirt off so she could use it. Now I couldn't hike with just one sleeve so I ripped the other off to match. As I hiked the rest of the day I discovered that I liked the feeling of the bare arms and have mostly hiked in sleeveless shirts ever since. I also prefer sleeveless shirt for playing basketball and lifting weights.

I think this warrants a visual for the history of the sleeveless shirt and how old blue came about.

Another round of nice pics. I heard this is a good place to go when it is socked in west of the pass. Looks like this is doable year round. Looks like snowshoe country during the winter. I thought it was also snowmobile country as well, or is it relatively noise-free?

You might be able to drive on the Rd 113 to the area near the Yellow Hill trailhead. It is a couple miles past the last of the houses and around 2800'. Depends on what kind of rig you have as I could easily see that area holding 18" of snow in the middle of winter. But there might truck tracks to there. Not much snowmobiling on the south end of this trail. You will experience some near Jolly at the north end, depending upon which line you take. Of course, if you can do it anytime during the week, then little chance of snowmobile encounters.
