Jack, it might be a little cramped riding w/me in my little car, but I could modify my plans a little and take you with. If you wanna check out the available space, I'll stop by and let you look after work 'cause I'm in the same town as you during the day. Call me, I'll pm you my work phone # Jon

thanks john (check pm's)

no other WA folks though? i would be happy to help drive if you let me

I think a get together would be a neato idea. I however, think we might want to choose a more concrete weekend so that if peeps are going to come from ID,WA (not west coast), OR etc that perhaps they can plan for it. Also, so that local peeps can make room in their schedules.

anyone? still looking for a ride...

Latest report I saw was they would start at it in late March, but if we keep getting al this snow, who knows. Would love to head up there when it opens though.

As of yesterday....here is the current hwy20 info


Spring Reopening On Schedule for The North Cascades Highway

Date: Monday, March 13, 2006

WENATCHEE - The reopening of SR 20, The North Cascades Highway, will get underway the week of March 20th. For the second time in three weeks, WSDOT North Central Region Avalanche Control technicians evaluated the snow conditions on snowmobiles today. They found deeper snow accumulations from the recent storms and many of the avalanche chutes have still not released their snow loads. That must happen before it's safe for crews to begin clearing the highway under them. Snow depth at the east closure gate was 5-1/2 feet. Above that point, it was about 7-feet. At the top of Washington Pass, the snow is 7-1/2 feet deep. The deepest accumulation on February 22nd was just east of Washington Pass beneath the Liberty Bell Number Three avalanche chute where snow 45-feet deep covered the highway. At the same time, depths of 20-feet were found further east below Cutthroat Ridge. Avalanche Control Technician Mike Stanford says, “Those are all deeper now.â€Â
