pics added from trip

had a great time, played in the river, soaked in the springs. the fishing wasn't great because there werwe thunder storms up the vally that mudded up the river, but it was great. nobody else out there.

couldn't drive across, the day we went in it rained up the canyon, and on us a bit, and it brought the water level up quite a bit.
thanks, and i like my 60 too...

it is a good trail, more of a jacked up fire road with many fun challenging sections. along the way there are hard obstacles that don't get done often but are doable. in August the river should be crossable, unless it rains a lot. but usually no sweat. it really is abeautiful area.
