Ice Run for July....7/28/10

We arrived on a slightly cloudy day, but it was warm. Wildflowers everywhere....

There was around 300 pounds of ice left...

The temperature was -100F...

We loaded in our 1500 pounds, leaving approximately 1800 pounds total.

A very interesting Black Crystal formation....

On the way down the hill, we ran into a UPS truck that was hung up on the

rocks in the ditch. Being as both of us were Eagle scouts, we assisted the

driver in freeing up his vehicle with very little visible damage. UPS is

pretty tough on it's drivers who damage trucks.....

A few days later, an old college roomate stopped by and we went up to Ned to see Grandpa.

Naturally, we had to have the traditinal toast...

Rick was pretty much in awe of Grandpa, hanging on to his toe tag and quaffing a bit 'o Old Grandad on dry ice....
