Nordic Daily Logs for 3/7 and 3/8/2026

[Terry and Sue Flower]

Daily Logs attached.

Highlights:

• Small teams, only 5 patrollers Saturday and 4 on Sunday.
• Rainy, wet and cold. Thus fewer visitors than usual. Still plenty of PSAR and no significant incidents.
• Reset all of the poles.
• Filled both vehicles with gas.
• Climbing Rangers are returning and need the Expedition during the week and some weekends. The Expedition and keys are now left at the EOC Sunday afternoon. Keys hang on a hook in the Winter Tech's room adjacent to the conference room. It will be available to us sometimes but don't count on it every weekend. From the preliminary schedule that I saw we won't have access to it next weekend, March 14/15. Stayed tuned for more info from Ed.
• Internet is back on at Nisqually House.
• Delivered (and used!) toilet cleaning supplies, per Sid's request.
• The house was completely out of Daily Patrol Log forms. The next lead should print some to take.
• There are plenty of an older revision of the Equipment Checkout forms but none of the newest version. Just use the old one for now.
• We are down to 9 radios. One of those is flagged with blue tape after a patroller reported difficulty transmitting and receiving several weeks ago. I tried it out briefly at the house and it seemed to work fine. If you are so inclined you could take it out on the next patrol as a second radio and try it out. If not I can do that in two weeks.
• A travel observation: the snow bridges in upper Edith Creek Basin are melting out. Use extra caution if you want to do the Edith Basin to base of Pan Pt route.
• Snow depth on Stevens Canyon Road near the lake was 150cm (59in or 5ft). Snow depth at the lake surface was 85cm (33inches, 2.8ft)
