Thread: Eyre mountains

The trip went pear shaped before I left he house... Snow to 400m pass I wanted to go through 1500... Plan b. Mavora lakes is around 650 hat was the original exit point.

First night at mavora camp-site: made dinner took dog for a walk, came back to a cat eating my leftovers.... Small game permit for the other side of the valley for rimfire.. Dog chase cat.. That night the idea of sleeping beside the car got interrupted by a nasty front. Snow to 800ish.... Guy I'm heading out wih shows up and we make our way into the first hut.

Night 2 some price drove in to the second hut.... Left rubbish, loaf of bread on the lawn, bottles on mantelpiece, empty gas cans.... U know the prick, and he drove!!!!

Trip had 4 hut nights one interrupted by a possum outside climbing je chimney, could imagine it lighting it's tail on he open fire and 2 dogs giving chase in the hut... Mouse infested place, could be an improvement! Second hut was an improvement, bright orange one in pics. Only problem you had to leave the door a jar or the fire smoked you out..

First morning, magpies chortling, out the door of the hut with a chair and 17HMR magpies stayed well clear next few days. Creek we crossed a few times was originally top of boots level, came up hugely overnight looking at the bank and about 3times the volume when we left.

Old chamoi sign and one set of fresh red prints running away down the scree we must have disturbed. Really nice view into the Ashton Valley from where we pulled the pin on plan c and d. Snow tussock with a healthy dose of white in top. Would have been ok as was hut could have gotten another 6inchs and we're not set up for it, only had food for two nights.
