27-March 2009 to 4-April 2009: We headed back down to the 126 and then headed north towards Koosah and Sahalie Falls. But as the road climbed, we could see the rain was turning into snow. We even passed by a couple of snow plows on the way up.

Before we got deep into the white stuff (without chains), we decided to turn around and call it a defeat. So we wouldn’t see neither Koosah nor Sahalie Falls as I had feared. I guess sometimes you can’t fight Mother Nature, and this trip exemplified what happens if the trip is poorly planned and done at the last minute…
