Depending on the condition of 93b after this winters closure, 93b might check you out! Lol! I went right before it closed for the winter and it was in real bad shape.

Last time we were there, Doug was the only one to make 93B without a winch. I can't really see how it can be much better. It has a lot of loose stuff and seems to always be wet. Should be fun. I'm still ironing out the details on whether I can go..
