· Friday, 5/31 -- 4pm mass start at Granite Planite.
· Saturday, 6/1 -- 2pm mass start at Diamond Bay.

No snow showing therefore this has been photoshopped, it would seem.

Our good luck with the weather ran out today. Almost everybody abandoned the course after about an hour due to really scary lightning. We all agreed that the rain and hail were tolerable...but the lightning was too much, and it went on for a LONG time. And then shortly after everyone was accounted for at the finish -- the sun came out again.

Just look at the way that long ago native Americans perfectly marked the start location with a triangle of stones. Everyone was so happy to see that!
Okay, maybe I was the only one that was so happy to see that, but at least someone was happy to see these ancient stones. Shiny happy person! ; )
(PS to JJ: the snow melted.)

I’m not sure I have been that scared in the forest before. Even on 14er hikes! What seemed like the apocalypse was over soon,
