bought a new pair of hiking pants at 5th Season in Shasta, paying too much of course, but my otehr pair was shredded badly. Asked them about options for boot protectors or as I called then plastic socks or gaiters that went over the shoe, they did say there were alpine gaiters that went over the boot for use with crampons, but probably overkill for my use. Described to them what I was doing they seemed impressed.
Headed to the Grocery store and got extra strenght garbage bags. Will cut them to shape for use as boot gaiters, try them out sort of (my microspikes are packerd at Castle Crags.)
Drove to Gumshowe Pass and prepared a food cache and found a good hiding place for it, then on to Weed's McD to doublecheck my picts. Good to go.
Should be back in touch in about five days.
