We got all the way to Antonito that day with no problems, but that night (Saturday) and Sunday morning, the wind was really howling and we encountered half a dozen aspen partially or completely blocking the line before we reached Sublette. Below is a picture of the last (and largest) of the trees. They had to bring up the chain saw from the speeder to clear it. I took this picture from my seat in the cab while I waited for the line to be cleared.
