New Routes

[Mark Griffith]

So we'll start over by Sky Komish, its around a 2 hour drive to drop
off at trailhead. We'll leave from my house on Wednesday early early
early. Still have to find someone to drive us over and drop us off.

I went to find my topo map software last night and the discs
disappeared so I had to piece it together with Google Map and the topo
maps on Ped Gmap.

You can get a general overview of the route on this Google Map :
