This years "Spring Trip" was a little different from what we are used to. Because of a late winter storm in the North Cascades we were forced to improvise with our plans. The original plan was to hike from Ruby Arm to Spencer Island, we soon learned that Hw. 20 would not be open early enough to grant us accesses to the trail head. So we came up with plan B; hike from the other end of the lake to Silver Cr. However when the winter storm hit the snow levels around the Cascades dropped below 500ft. Because much of the rout to Ross Lake is above 2000ft we were forced to once again change our plan of attack. We were running out of options and canceling the trip was out of the question. So we talked to a friend who owns a cabin outside of Deming, WA to see if it would be available for us to use. As it turns out the cabin was open and available for us to use. We decided to go with this plan and come up with ideas for a latter trip to redeem the season.
