sweet... everything i just wrote got earased! well basiclly that sounds fun. exploring in nevada. i do the same but with high lake back packing. the type with no trails, 20 miles round trip and just about every terrain you can think of besides the extremes desert/ice very mountainous and very steep. the trail head is at 2500 feet and the destination is just under 8000, a mile gain in a 2-3 mile part of the hike. It's misery and a lot of pain but worth it when you get there. the 32f degree water feels good after your done screaming like a little girl. the first time we got lost and had to use a compass but now on the 4th time its weird how you remember how to get there with no map or compass. share pics if you get them! Snowcat???? that takes all the fun out of the journey.
