| no partners | | Hank met me at my campsite early Thursday morning and we drove to the location on FR300G which he had selected as the starting point for the hike. We hiked down to the confluence of West and East Bear Creek Canyons making use of the elk trails to find the easiest path down the canyon side. From there we hiked down canyon until stopped by a water hazard with cliffs on both sides. Although we were hiking off trail there were few obstacles except at our turn-around point. The creek bed was mostly dry with scattered pools of water. I was surprised to see minnows in the pools - how do fish survive in an intermittent stream?
It started to rain as we made the final climb back up to the car. Hank immediately pulled ut his poncho which must be the offoial HAZ approved rain gear. My full Oregon rain suit was a little more than required. As often happens, as soon as we had donned our rain gear it stopped raining. |
