I looked into the trail conditions for this weekend. It should be mostly clear but there might be some mud around the creek crossing about halfway in. I think we should start early, around 7 AM, to get the best parking spot at the trailhead. Make sure to bring layers because the temperature drops pretty significantly after the switchbacks. I have extra trekking poles if you need them. Let me know if you want to stop for breakfast on the way out. I mapped out a route that adds a nice viewpoint near the summit if we have enough time. The weather forecast looks stable for now.

I tried that new pasta recipe you sent over. I adjusted the sauce a bit by adding a little more garlic and some red pepper flakes for heat. It paired really well with the Cabernet we had. For the next time, I think I would use a thicker pasta shape to hold the sauce better. Let me know if you want to come over and try it out next week. I also found a good deal on fresh basil at the market which made a big difference in the overall flavor. I think the secret is to let the sauce simmer longer than the recipe states.
