Added quite a bit to this one, decided to do a little cross country, so pulled off at airplane flat and set off. We got distracted by a small run off and followed that for 2 miles before finally giving in to the fact that we were going the wrong way. climbed the ridge and saw our creek and road. It was kind of a nice side trek, that's where we saw about 50 elk in three different herds, and got properly introduced to the local thorns :? . After that it was smooth sailing, hit the road for about 3 and a half more miles, crossed the creek at a sketchy log jam and made camp. Followed the proper way back to the cars. Still a bit cold up there. We still saw a lot of snow and standing water on top of the rim. But the road is in good enough shape we made it in a prius ;) .
