Just some updates for everyone. First, I've replaced a useless link (not sure why i added it) with an extremely informative and detailed link. It has topo maps, pics and marks out 2 trails leading to the glacier (Frog ponds is quick and hard, Kookjai is slow and easy-ish). Also, a previous link (summitpost.org) is not linking, but I recommend you check it out manually. The real big issue is accessing the trail head from Comox Main Logging Road, as it runs through an "active" Timberwest parcel. All that Timberwest website says is access is restricted between 6am-6pm, 7 days a week. Some sites have claimed that public access is allowed during that timeframe if carring a VHF radio to monitor logging truck traffic. I'll try to contact Timberwest's PR dept for clarity on this, plus their policy for fire season access. Worst case scenario, there is a forest service road that links up to Comox Main outside Timberwest's land; the bad part is it starts at Beaver Creek, which is near Port Alberni. I skimmed over it with Google Maps and it seems doable, just lots of extra driving. Oh, and everyone should be able to post now, so gimme some feedback; or email me if i fucked that up again. Joel, can you forward the blog to Jer when you find his address? And let me know who's still able to make it.
I actually found the first link really interesting and informative. Anyway, if we get to your house early enough, we could just grab you and drive up to the trailhead after 6pm and camp there overnight
