More pics from Van Vleck

Here are some more pictures. The group picture was taken on our way out with the camera balanced on my ski poles. The picture from inside shows the "living room." You can see the bunkhouse in the picture of the meadow if you look closely.

Trip Report: Van Vleck Bunkhouse

Dave, Nancy, Andy, Carrie, Larry, and Nina skied to Van Vleck Bunkhouse Feb. 1st to 3rd. Dave and Nancy drove from Santa Cruz, Andy and Carrie drove from Camp Connell, and Larry and Nina came from Lake Tahoe after Larry skied a race that morning. Larry and Nina didn't arrive at the bunkhouse until 8pm, skiing in the dark!

The bunkhouse was supposed to have running water and a flush toilet, but apparently the spring feeding the water system is dry. We melted snow the first night, and then found a water hole in the creek the next day.
