Well I had the day off so I decided to take the trusty dog Dexter and hike up to the lookout, zero real snow.
I have been nursing a few leg problems.... so I packed at 25 pounds and it was just shy of 3hrs round trip (all things considered I was happy with that).
I was shocked that at 6am there were 6 cars in the lot (5 overnighters and 1 ahead of me), when I got down around 9:15 there was well over 25 cars. It is Presidents day but it's still a Monday in Feb.
The trail was great with a few spots of ice that were easy to negotiate around and 3 or 4 spots, a few hundred yards long of compact snow.
I took 8 pictures, made a panorama out of 6 of them, the dog is the only other one that turned out.

Re: Pilchuck 2/16
Wow... What a pathetic snow year. Did you take any other pictures of the area around the lookout? Is there any snow on the north slope?
WINTER IS HERE
Re: Pilchuck 2/16
Unfortunately Dexter was not happy about me going up and leaving him, so with him whining I literarily spent less than a minuet at the lookout. Here is a picture of the rocks to the ladder and one of the pictures from the panorama shows the lack of snow on the backside of the lookout.
That is all I have.... I am not the photographer that I should be.
