The forecast called for a balmy 47F and partly cloudy skies. So why not visit this area again - I took a break from craigslist.jobs and my dad had a day off anyway. Long story short, when we got there it was gray drizzle, clouds laying on the ground and 39F. We did get a sunbreak or two near Bear Pass - a good bonus as it's very scenic point. When we continued up into the clouds the wind really picked up, it was all blowing fog, snow and what seemed like bear track prints (I also counted 6 or 7 bear poo on trail today) and it became very cold. We decided it was no point going to the top, and just took our time picking huckleberries on the way down.
