Google "Laid Back Camp."

Agree that #1 is best. It's just so clear that there's going to be a fish in that pool. (Also loving the vintage style bag.)

Thanks for the input. I'm not familiar with the Powerhouse couloir. What's it like? How would I recognize it once I get up on the dana plateau?

Thanks!

That's just what I was looking for.

I really like the Victorian Inn.

Clean rooms, cheap rates, good breakfast, nice proprietors, friendly dog, close to the ice park.
