19:04:28 From  Jess M  to  Everyone : Will we receive a recording or the slides afterwards? Not sure if I should take notes!
19:06:02 From  Bridget.Hobbs@techdata.com  to  Cheryl Talbert (moderator)(Direct Message) : recording will be sent out?
19:06:37 From  Cheryl Talbert (moderator)  to  Everyone : A recording of the presentation will be sent out as soon as I can get it ready, probably tomorrow morning!
19:07:12 From  Bridget.Hobbs@techdata.com  to  Cheryl Talbert (moderator)(Direct Message) : Thanks!
19:07:43 From  Jess M  to  Everyone : Thank you!! :)
19:15:07 From  Bridget.Hobbs@techdata.com  to  Cheryl Talbert (moderator)(Direct Message) : How far is this from Seattle?
19:15:13 From  rodsmith  to  Everyone : What permits if any are required?
19:16:23 From  Nanci Johnson  to  Everyone : Is road to Phelps Creek TH still awful?
19:16:54 From  Cheryl Talbert (moderator)  to  Everyone : No permits required!  Trinity trailhead is at the upper end of Lake Wenatchee and then quite a ways up forest roads from there, probably ~3 hours from Seattle.
19:18:18 From  Cheryl Talbert (moderator)  to  Everyone : Phelps Creek TH road is pretty awful!  A sedan can probably make it but it would be a white-knuckle trip.
19:21:23 From  Cheryl Talbert (moderator)  to  Everyone : The road to Little Giant TH and Trinity TH are very good.
19:24:47 From  sandra saathoff  to  Everyone : If you happened to have micro spikes, they would be helpful. We had a group of 3. 1 of us had them and descended much faster than the other 2 of us. Not dangerous, just faster with traction.
19:26:05 From  Cheryl Talbert (moderator)  to  Everyone : Thanks Sandra!
19:27:33 From  sandra saathoff  to  Everyone : Was Ranger Russ there still? (Man in his 70s who does projects while staying the summer there)
19:29:32 From  Michele Ritala - King County  to  Everyone : Wow!
19:29:37 From  Todd Staheli  to  Everyone : Do you think mid-July is too early for the loop? Suppose we’d need traction devices but wondering if too early this year.
	DANIEL:  Most of this route could be done in a normal snow year but High Pass would probably require ice axe and crampons.
19:33:33 From  Denis DuBois  to  Cheryl Talbert (moderator)(Direct Message) : are there only 2 camps at image lake?
19:33:57 From  Beth Geiger  to  Everyone : was sheep camp a detour off the route from Miner's ridge to Buck Creek Pass?
19:34:41 From  Cheryl Talbert (moderator)  to  Everyone : There is a reasonably large camp tat Image Lake (I've had 6 tents there) but it can tend to be crowded.
19:40:59 From  Cheryl Talbert (moderator)  to  Everyone : It's not very easy to get down to Triad Lake
19:42:33 From  Lori  to  Everyone : WOW!
19:42:42 From  Karla Munguía  to  Everyone : Pics are great, thank you! Much appreciated
19:43:41 From  Cheryl Talbert (moderator)  to  Everyone : That last descent section into Napeequa through the slide alder could get very slick and treacherous if raining or recently rained.
19:46:04 From  SteveL  to  Everyone : Yes. I've found it easier to go up that section rather than down it (i.e., I prefer that loop clockwise).
19:46:29 From  Cheryl Talbert (moderator)  to  Everyone : There were open spots for camping along the river past Louis Falls, but access to the river for water was not easy most of the way along.  Side creeks were the best water sources.
19:48:16 From  SteveL  to  Everyone : No water on ridgetop... unless snow's available to melt?
19:49:36 From  Denis DuBois  to  Everyone : has the napeequa trail been brushed out
	DANIEL:  Yes, slide alder and brush had been cleared.  But lots of mud along the river.
19:56:09 From  Luciana Wright  to  Everyone : Amazing backpacking trip! Love the pictures and the tips!
19:56:24 From  Todd Staheli  to  Everyone : Thank you, this has been great! So beautiful!
19:56:31 From  Lori  to  Everyone : Thank you!
19:56:37 From  Lara Linde  to  Everyone : Thank you so much!!
19:56:38 From  Nanci Johnson  to  Everyone : Thank you so much
19:56:46 From  michale  to  Everyone : thank you!
19:56:46 From  Bridget.Hobbs@techdata.com  to  Everyone : Beautiful! Such stunning flowers photos. Loved seeing the fields of flowers!
19:56:58 From  Jess M  to  Everyone : This was great! Thanks so much!
19:57:10 From  Kris Vosk  to  Everyone : Thank you!  Beautiful pics...
19:57:24 From  SteveL  to  Everyone : For October trips, hikers should be aware that the Buck Creek Pass area is quite popular with early season deer hunters. Starts mid-October and lasts a couple of weeks. Bright clothing advised.
19:58:00 From  sandra saathoff  to  Everyone : We were there right after Labor Day. Bear hunters were around.
19:58:16 From  SteveL  to  Everyone : Thanks!
19:58:18 From  Valerie Ensor  to  Everyone : thank you!!
19:58:23 From  Karla Munguía  to  Everyone : thank you!
