Mike- I’ve done the Refrigerator to Meriwether several times, but it has been quite a while because it is such a pain to shuttle. Have caught the cruise boat a couple times and I think the best trip was when we left a car at the Gates Marina and then had someone drop us at Refrigerator. After going across, the last thing I feel like doing is driving all the way back to Refrigerator to pick up a vehicle. One other option is to go up Refrigerator and then drop down Big Log Gulch from Kennedy Springs. Less of a shuttle that way. We did that once where I dropped my wife and son off at Refrigerator then drove down to Hunters Gulch and ran up and met them at Bear Prairie, then we hiked the rest of the way out together. Later in the year, water can be a concern but I’ve always found reliable water at Bear Prairie and Kennedy Springs.
