    I was at Cat lake last may. It's just north of Squamish and drive in. Lots of hang spots, bear bags, out houses and close enough to town to go for pancake mix if you forget it.

    Best way to drive stakes into frozen ground, is to catch an airplane to somewhere warm! I have the gear for deep cold but not the desire. Hawaii is nice this time of year. Aozzie land. New Zealand.
