19:03:18 From Carol : What are onesies? CHERYL A onesie is a pajama that is all in one, you might call it a footie pajama 19:04:51 From TinaMari : I wish there was and OTHER choice. I would like to do something in the Olympics CHERYL Tina, the next three PJ parties will be in the Olympics - that's why that wasn't on the list 19:05:28 From Pamela Davies : I LOVE the Backpacker PJ party! This is so much easier than coping with traffic to get to a Mountaineers building. I’ll definitely keep joining in after June 1! Really appreciate it. 19:26:08 From beth_ : Cloudy pass is a beautiful place to camp. 19:27:53 From beth_ : Gorgeous photo! 19:29:36 From Phuong Nguyen : wow the photos look amazing! 19:32:53 From Eddie : The bridge log looks a little worse for wear TIM – it’s in good shape, about 2 ½ feet wide and level 19:37:05 From Greg T. : Are there any ticks or poison ivy/oak to be mindful of? TIM – ticks are always out there, check yourself at every rest stop 19:37:06 From Pamela Davies : Where exactly do you camp at Lyman Lake? TIM – anywhere others have camped previously, there are no designated campsites 19:37:08 From Elyse : Have you ever done it clockwise and do you have a preferance?

TIM – Canon 6D, a full frame DSLR with a 24 mm prime lens; many of the photos I showed were taked with this camera. I also often use an Olympus E-PL2 with a 9 – 18mm lens.

TIM – group self arranges 19:37:19 From Nestor Voronka : where does one camp in the 5 day plan? TIM – if doing a 5 day trip, I would spend the first night at one fo the few designated campsites at the top of Spider Meadow, just below the Spider Glacier 19:37:24 From Nancy Lloyd : How many miles to drive on the Phelps road (where high clearance is recommended) TIM – about 2 miles of deeply rutted and rough road 19:37:39 From Gina Massoni : Where do you stay if you go for five days?

TIM – no exposure anywhere on the route I presented 19:38:16 From Kim Frasher : Last September, Spider Gap was very melted out until the upper section.

Black Flies? TIM – probably lots, but I’m lucky as they don’t bother me. 19:39:50 From KAYLEEN : How heavy is your pack?

TIM – could be, I don’t remember 19:40:27 From Birgit : Best time for flowers? -- when you did your do this in 2017 which seemed a bit late for flowers?
