We arrived in the afternoon the day before. During the night a storm of wind, rain, thunder and lighting blew through. But the morning broke clean, and warm, as this picture shows. We are packing getting ready to hit the trail.
After the first hour we took a break, and checked the loads.
These are my two boys, Spud, and Junior.
Another break to rest, and check the loads.
We were joined by this young buck sprouting a new set of horns.
After five and a half hours we made camp. |
After several warm days the river was really roaring.
You an see how the water level was up into the trees.
Selway Falls at flood stage.
Soon after we had camp set up a party of four harding down river moved in nearby. They informed us that halfway to Moose Creek, our destination, a major blow down had the trail blocked. It was the result of the storm that blew in while we were at the trail head. This caused up the cut a four day trip to two.
