dedom -- you are welcome to borrow mine. I'm in Camas, not too far from 205/14 interchange. We could arrange a pick up on yer way through.

Thanks Kayt,

I really hope I need it. I am jonzing for snow. Looking for alternative sites has really reminded me how perfect frog lake is, short level snowy walk in- beautiful scenery, easy to drive to, very walkable great trees.


:: Question all::

I don't remember paying for anything last time, and website seems to indicate it's closed, am I just getting a snow park pass and I am good?

Yep only requires a Snow Park pass. Then you park at the snow park and head in. The campground is technically closed but its ok to camp there..
Called the ranger service in the past asking and its fine as long as people don't destroy stuff.

And if your in Washington get a Washington snowpark pass. At least that is how its been in past years. Oregon and Washington have an agreement. But they go by the plates.
I dont think you would have an issue either way but better safe than sorry.

I'm planning to drive down... If Coil doesn't get me killed on Mazama ridge or Reflections Lake the weekend. He mentioned something about practicing crevasse rescues?

Guess this gives us something to discuss while keeping warm at camp.

I've been prepping!! Made a new weather shield for DFab! With her hammock gear TQ & UQ, she should be toasty!!
Also, decided to play with pods. Gonna try out a new system this hang.
Yippee!!!

Turns out, the exped dreamwalker 450 is well suited to this application. I modded by adding two small tabs, one at the foot and one at the head/hood, to keep it from sliding. I suspect I'll be too warm, but I can't wait to try it out.

We're almost there, folks!!!

Nice Kayt.. I'm playing around with a DIY pod myself. Have not left the garage with it.. but so far, it's promising.
Can't wait to get up to Frog Lake! Gonna be FUN!
Got a couple NOOBs with me this time. Not new to winter camping, but just got hammocks for Christmas. I promsed them we would not scare them off... well... a little scary is ok knowing you all.
SNOW!!!!!
