If there is anyone who hasn't been to Wolf Creek before and is heading up this weekend, you can find my maps to the site at: http://homepage.mac.com/dlbennett/PhotoAlbum4.html Just print out the two WC Fields maps and the following written directions (provided by Jo Grahn). dlb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------- Take I-80 East (past Park City exit) to Exit 148. (Rt. 40 East). Stay to the right on the exit, as it splits. Head East on Rt. 40 to Exit 4. At the bottom of the exit ramp, go left towards Kamas. (I think this is Rt. 248, but I won't swear to it.) Follow this road as it winds through the hills to Kamas. In Kamas there is a stop sign at the intersection of this road and Rt. 32. Go right (South) on Rt. 32. Take Rt. 32 several miles to the intersection with Rt. 35 in Francis. Go left (East) on 35. You will go through Francis and Woodland and up past the Mill Hollow reservoir turnoff. Towards the top of the pass, you will see a sign for the Wolf Creek campground on your right. Go to and through the campground on a dirt rd, and continue on about two miles heading south, until you reach the edge of the world (ormaybe it just looks that way). The road comes to an abrupt "T". Go left, past the dead end sign, .8 miles. There is a beautiful wide grassy area to the right that Dave Bernson and Dave Bennett found several years ago. The sky is dark enough that the milky way casts a definite shadow. On Friday, September 10, 2004, at 04:08 PM, David L Bennett wrote:
I still favor checking out the satellite images directly and coming up with your own forecast...I've been just as accurate (and inaccurate) as the professionals but at least I've only got one person to blame.

Click on the 4km animations...Visible/IR/Water Vapor...I like the 'rock' feature.
Also, this page (Hanna) from NOAA seems to be the closest region to Wolf Creek and has served me well;

They've changed tonight's forecast from 20% chance of showers to just partly cloudy...and like Don mentioned, these appear to be the type of clouds that say goodnight after dark.
