I posted this at ECJ5 but thought folks here might enjoy a little scenery also.
Did a quickie trip to Wisconsin Creek in the Roots over the weekend. Drove the JK since the B is still waiting for an axle. Most of the trail is a 3 and only needed lockers once.
I have not been back to Crystal Lake since sometime in the 70's but decided to see what was left of the Gladstone/Lake Shore Mine. Forty something years have not been kind to it and I will try to follow this up with some scanned slides from that era if I can find them. Saturday, we camped below Crystal Lake and Sunday stashed the packs in the Jeep and hiked up to Jackson Lake. Of note was a rather massive avalanche that dumped a lot of debris in Crystal some time last winter.

Jackson Lake/Sunrise Peak
