6. It's crazy, and it's only getting more bizarre.

The Cascades had about five percent of their normal snow the Winter of 2014-15. Thus, we went backpacking to one of our favorite mountain lakes in June. Normally, we would have traversed over snow for most of the trek, but the snow that was left was about what one would expect in September. And there were very few mosquitoes at a time when they are usually just ramping up.

Sure, I took advantage of being able to hit the mountain lakes in June and July, but it's not good.
