[QUOTE="Manzanita, post: 1775521, member: 10109"] [b]The avalanch[/b] When the party initially leaves the main road, the old trail is barely visible. After about a mile, it is clear that is becomes fairly well used. Traveling another hour or so North, the party finds itself in rugged hills, fairly thick with brush and conifers. Visibility is quite low off the trail. The trail is winding along the side of a fairly steep hill when it is abruptly washed out by an avalanch. Examining the rocks, and the vegitation growth upon them, the party estimates it occured about a month ago. The washed out area is about 50 feet across. Beyond that, the trail becomes clear and visible again. The rockslide consists mostly of medium sized to tiny rocks. (skree) A few large boulders dot the area. Looking up and down, the party can see the avalanch started near the top of the ridge and continues all the way down to the river below. There is no easy way to avoid going over it. Nurlan dismounts and gazes down at the rockslide. There do appear to be broken pieces of wood, some of the curved like wagon wheels. He now thinks he sees a few shiny spots of metal. These remains are about in the middle of the slide, about 30 feet down the hill. [/QUOTE]
