HUT HUT... HUT TRIIIIP!
We've been fantasizing about our next outdoor adventure for some time, let's start discussing details so this actually happens.
Objectives:
Snow, Warm place to rest our heads at nice, friends, SLEDDING, warm, yummy food. I am thinking three nights.
Possible Locations:
Mary Rain's Cabin: Mikail has talked to her about letting us use it, I believe she is on board. I think there is a potential for snowmobiles, if not we would have to ski/snowshoe in. It is a big slog, but definitely feasable. Pros: FREE! Cons: Devin went up there last season and discover a thriving mouse population. APparently the floor was covered in insulation when he got there. He said they swept it out and managed just fine, but this could be an issue.
Tahoma Huts:
These are a series of huts by Mt. Rainier that cost $15 per person per night. They hold 14 folks and the Parks fill them, so we would either need to get 14 of us commited, or share the space with other campers. They are plush - stoves, couches, sleeping mats, full kitchen, outhouse. They do fill up, so if we are moving in this direction we should try and reserve them within the week. Here's the link see for your self, the word 'hut' doesn't really do them justice. http://www.skimtta.com/
Other Options?? I know there are tons of rentable cabins in the cascades, we should look around for other possible locations.
Right now the main thing we have to decide upon is dates and numbers going. In my mind there are two possible windows, the 20-24 and the 26-30. I am flexible with both, but need to inform my boss asap, as I will be working in the woodshop any available day that is not christmas or this trip. For that reason, I would prefer to schedule the trip as close to Christmas as possible, so as to minimize days just chilling on the island. I would also prefer the 26-30th window, but I can do either.
Stoked, let's make this happen. believe in the magic of your dreams.
