I'm both in and out, sadly ive been too busy with work to get get the roadworthy in time but Max is still as keen as mustard, so I will go with him in his car, thats a bugger as its one less winch but good as I will spend some quality time with Max and perhaps teach him how to build an igloo and other alpine gems (he already knows not to eat yellow snow), anybody remember the time we all made the "sunken lounge room" on a past snow trip we dug a meter or so down to the ground and used the excess snow to build a wall around the top to keep the weather out, it was windy and awful up top but 15/20 of us were cosy and warm around the fire down the bottom, a great trip.
Peter.

Just confirming that I have a house booked for Saturday night that sleeps 6 in beds. In Jamieson.
Pretty sure, Ben, Luke Jonno and me are in the house, not sure who else? Darcy and Courtney have the double bed.
We can squeeze more on the floor though.
Also, i did book it for Friday night too as David wanted to use it on Friday, but now it seems he is out.
So Im going to offer it to the other day trippers for friday.

Hi Crusty Camper Squad,
Given the conditions, lets be sensible and say:
If we haven't met up by 3pm - we will radio / phone each other to check in.
If we haven't heard from or met up by 4pm - we will start turning around to head back down the hill into Jamieson.
I think if we make it over the summit, we will go past Barkley River Jeep Track, but not go beyond Lazarini Spur.
Cheers,
The Day Trippers

Hi Fellas.
If the weather bureau predictions of a second ice age are correct.
I reckon we might have to come looking for you blokes in the spring thaw.
Be careful of avalanches and crevasses
I reckon you all will have an adventure and will have lots of stories to tell.
Regards. Wayne.
