Do you think it's still possible to drive up to Haney Meadow from Blewett Pass?

Hey Rich, that would be touch and go as the week goes on. The Mission Ridge webcams as well as the Blewett Pass webcam show it snowing at the moment. The elk hunters will try to plod through to get up there later this week, so maybe you can too, or maybe not.

Depends on your vehicle and whether you can do without it until spring if you get stuck.

I may just start where you guys did and hike up from the end of 7240. I've done it once in mid-Nov and remember the trail being pretty good.

No need to apologize, I should have known better since I followed Wildernessed up into that same area some years ago after having him tell me it was an easy route! How soon we forget how difficult it is to hike on fields of small basalt rocks, especially when covered by a dusting of snow. But once we got up to Windy Knob the views and camaraderie was worth the effort. Much better than sitting around waiting for the thick smoke to clear like I had been doing in the recent days.
Hitting the rocks. Our destination. Some larches still linger. In the rocks. Getting out of the rocks. A weather station by Central Wash. Univ. to gauge the wind. There is another one just like it down in the gully. Matt is not the only one who likes Earl Gray tea.

I went out there today and almost got my car to the end of the Rd 7240 but a big mud puddle spooked me and I parked 1/2 mile before. Made it all the way out to Bentrim Hill. No more than 5" of snow at 6k. Saw fresh tire tracks at Haney Meadow. Lots of wildlife.
