That all looks like a lot of fun! We only get snow here every 3 or 4 years on the valley floor. Gotta head up into the hills to find it! Now, we're waiting for NorthWind's truck to arrive so we can get up there and visit some more remote places that require 4wd. The tires on my truck are smooth as a baby's butt, so I have to be careful where I drive... we almost got stuck in my truck last year while trying to get into a "back door" to our fired-out research area. I love being out in the snow!

Possibly welded?

Hello from Virginia. Always wanted to read others experiences

My placer claim many years ago bordered on Skookumchuck Hotsprings, also known as St Alice Wells. This was about 40km N of the head of Harrison Lake.

I met John and his wife Joan years ago when they visited Washington State for a presentation. He signed one of his books for me. He was pleasant to talk to. One of the areas that we talked about was cat tracks in snow. Bobcat, Lynx and cougar in the ways of paws, straddle, stride and tail dragging. We talked about track following with cross country skiis and snowshoes. Cross country skiis being faster on suitable terrain. Both methods are relatively quiet. If you can walk, you can use snowshoes. Cost of ownership of snow machines is high. They make a lot of noise. Time will tell. How do you feel when someone or something is following you? I will post again: Sasquatch find you, you do not find them. Western Washington has wet sloppy snow. If conditions are not correct, animal tracks can be obscurred quickly. A track / way would have to be pounced upon quickly ( no cat pun intended ).
