Day
15: Chukung Bad Weather Day
Today it was
miserable. It snowed most of the day and we could not go anywhere
and I stayed in the lodge the entire day. No pictures were taken,
not trails were traversed, but a lot of really expensive food was
eaten. Some cards were played (Spades with people from the Sierra
Club trek), some of 'The Hunt for Red October' was re-read (I had
no new book and I was desparate for any reading material), and some
trips were made to the toilet (which was way too far away outside
amongst the yaks). The snow that a Sherpa guide predicted would
end yestarday at 4:00 lasted pretty much all day today. Somewhat
unusual.
