| no partners | | Started to mostly clear skies Saturday morning. Not surprisingly the parking lot at FW was almost at capacity at 8AM. Everybody wants to get out and see the water. Headed out for a clockwise loop this time, usually go CCW. Passed a couple of guys before Garden Valley who were on their way to check the flow at Boulder Creek, told them it was flowing well on Monday.
Saw no one else until I heard voices as I ascended up the Cavalry trail, small group was heading down Boulder Canyon. On into Marsh Valley the trail is in great shape. Setup in one of my favorite campsites. A few folks passed through during the afternoon. At 1:30PM I would swear I heard thunder, then about 17 raindrops fell. I made a side trip up towards the Dutchman's trail and ran into a couple of guys looking for a campsite by the creek there. Back at camp, chilly night, tons of firewood around, and much condensation... Sunday, skipped Bull Pass and kept on the longer way around Black Top Mesa, first time actually through that section. Very nice, lots of water, waterfalls, little cave, some nice potential campsites... Also, more and more people. A short break back at Boulder creek, then a crowded finish. Did I mention everybody is out to see the water? |
