Warriors in Seward

[PINPIN JUNIOR]

Hi hikers and readers,

Last Saturday, after a miserable raining day in Sawteeth, Junior do not like a cold shower, but appreciated the Ellen-Queen noddles dinner, a large part of the Allen warriors team had a early meeting near the Correas road bridge.

Warrior Jeff was in late, just arrived when We start to drive at the Summer parking. "too many beers at the ADK winter meeting" Junior.

The gate was open and the road just a little bite icy. Other groups meet with the same goal or Seymour at the summer parking.

Easy hike on lest of one inch of new powder. Ice bridge to cross Calkins Brook, Mike colapse a part of the bridge but without a cold bath. "too many beers......" Junior

When We started to go up We put the snowshoes on just to have a better grip. Easy to stay in the usual path before and after the blowdown.

Junior passed the usual junction Seward Donaldson, impovised a bushike and find the path near the Donaldson summit, sorry warriors and other hikers.

Short break in Donaldson summit, Mike takes a couple of pictures, We restrated with Emmons ennemy in head.

Junior losed the path and We hiked in bad bushike with a couple of spruces traps!!! "Too many camera flash in my eyes" Junior
He Junior "You are a liar the flash camera was only after We come back in Donaldson" Alain

We stay in the usual path when We come back from Emmons and made a tree gate for the other hikers.

After a long break (a couple of minutes) in Donaldson with a jam traffic when Junior ask for sun glass (too many camera flash) my answer "only if You promise me do not make the same game of Jeff" (lose 2 times his glass) Alain

A short hesitation when We go down in the Donaldson Seward coll, but with the visibility Junior made a great job to stay in the usual path. Perfect view in Seward summit, Mike take other pictures.

We take a shortcut in the col and refind the usual Colkins Brook path. After 8 hours 45 minutes, around a Jeff beers the warriors celebrated this great odyssey. Joe had a nice smile in face and everybody was very happy.

Thank You all warrior to make this day a perfect hiking day.

You can see in alavigne (Andrew) a better report in vftt.

Have a great day.

Pinpin Junior

Sounds like a good trip, but I have not seen your report for Sawteeth? You and the two others passed us on your way up to the Sawteeth-Gothics junction Saturday morning about 10:30a. Our plans were to go up over Pyramid to Gothics, but we made the decision to turn around due to the rapidly dropping temps and significant rain. When we got back to the dam we met the "Queen", and had the opportunity to hike back down the lake road with royalty! But back to my original question, what did you do with Sawteeth and Gothics? Curious, as I haven't seen any recent reports on Gothics. Thanks, Slamdog/Lance

PinPin Junior,
I would have been the second guy with the smile on my face. Why have anything but a smile while in the woods? I read your Sawteeth report with enjoyment. Yes, it sure was a wet day out there. I think we may try again for Gothics next Thursday 2/2. If not Gothics, we'll climb another of the 46. I'll certainly recognize you next time! Lance/Slamdog

Hi Audey,

Thank You for your support.
We was a little bite surprise by the comments, but less of 5 minutes later, We think ok "it is the same of the water in a duck back" Junior.

We had a other great day in Allen and We will continue to report the snow condition and the adventures in the futur.

Have a great time.

Pinpin Junior.
