My original plan was to spend Thursday and Friday night at Camp Grasshopper, then leave sometime Saturday. Well, Saturday turned out to be quite an adventure, and I was too tired (and it was too breezy) for me to break camp, so I stayed a third night. Hank, Larry, and Randal were going to leave camp at about 0845 to head over and meet Pam and Kelly for the hike. I didn't think I could get all my stuff packed up by then, but lo and behold I did! That meant at least I could drive over to meet Kelly and say hello to Pam again. 
It was literally just around the next bend. 
But that's okay, as we had hiked to it from camp the previous day. The worst part of going back was the long climb out on the road from the corral area at Hess Canyon (especially that last steep part before reaching where we parked) If I were to come back and try this again, I would drive further down that road and camp closer to Hess Canyon (but you do need a 4x4 to do that). Randal and I were both pretty well exhausted when we reached the trucks, so we got out the chairs and had some brews while relaxing. We were there about 20 minutes when speedy Kelly showed up! 
Hank for putting this together and the invite! I had a great time.
