| no partners | | Its been 2 years since my good friend Rand had been to the Jug. He started getting the itch to go back. Met up with a couple of other friends, Anson and Cylie, then it was off to Salome Creek. Water is flowing, but slower than I would like. Plenty of wasps and bees gathering around some of the still pools. Water level in most pools is down between 2 and 5 feet. We moved quickly past my favorite slide due to wasps and bees hanging out near the bottom. The last pool before the exit was murky. Too bad, this one is one of my faves, a real desert oasis. Rand made the jump, followed by Anson and Cylie who rappelled down the waterfall. I've already jumped this thing a half dozen times or so, so I set up a rappel from the jump point. The free hanging drop into the water is fun. Met a guy named Mike, from Minnesota, who was in town on business for a month and was using his free time to solo canyoneer the Jug. Got to respect someone who brings 200 foot of rope, gear, helmet and Go-Pro on a business trip. Why not? |
