One of my arborist buddies is stuck up at Goldmeyer Hotsprings on the Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie River. We were worried about him, then his sister got an email from the caretaker at the hotsprings, saying that he was OK. He'd been nearby with another arbo buddy Sunday, who came back, but Scott decided to stay. Then the rivers went into flood stage. Eli was ready to rent a chopper and drop food, and was also worried that Scott might have tried to drive out and got stuck or worse. Anyhow, noone knows for sure if the road is washed out or not, but it is surely not yet passable. Friday is the planned day to mount an attempt to get up there. They've plenty of food and shelter. In fact, two caretakers spend the winter there...one is darned cute....
I've posted pics of both of these guys a fair bit on here.....
The most rain has been at paradise, where it has rained 17 inches in 54 hours, and 15 at Snoqualmie......It is finally cooling down and letting up....and snow levels are supposed to be near 2000-4000 feet for the next week, so maybe we'll be skiing soon.
