Decided to head here early in the morning with the goal of heading past the crack and up the creek. Got to the crack super quick and was the only one there. Reminded me of how this place used to be in the 90’s before the hordes came. Oh nostalgia.

Anyway, headed up creek. Glad I had my trekking poles (thanks for the recommendation in your triplog Chumley) because holy hell those rocks are so slippery. Tons of poison ivy around too so parts of the trek I just tried to stay in the water. Brought a floatie for the swimmers and slotted up areas which were actually quite refreshing because it was a scorcher today.

Finally turned around because I found a slow leak in my floatie and I took a nasty spill slipping on these slippery rocks. Damn rocks.

When I finally got back to the crack there was actually only 8 people there. Shocked. I guess no one wants to hike a hike to the Wet Beaver’s Crack on Easter.
