Avalanches

We woke late.  Well, I did anyway.  Sleeping in a teardrop with two adults and two uncooperative dogs isn't ideal.  But after a bit of coffee, we made our way into Silverton, with the intention of hitting Cinnamon Pass.  But after passing a Cherokee full of Tucsonions, we discovered that Corkscrew offered up the opportunity to see some incredible avalanche damage.

Potato Lake


And incredible it was.  Neither of us could believe how much damage was caused this season.  No other season since we've started visiting here has been so bad.

This should've been a clue as to what we were about to see....



The continual damage along Corkscrew was stunning.  It looked like it flowed down the road for a while.  It must've been a chore to clear it all.






We finally cleared the worst of it and made our way to the pass.









At the top of Corkscrew, we decided we wanted to see what our little lake looked like......
