Spent a weekend based at camp grasshopper upr cyn loop 3cpo. As always, a nice part of the world.

Waited for the late arrivers before getting started. Humidity was a bit opressive as the moisture sat in the bottom of the canyon and there was little breeze down there. Not much water despite the early onset of the monsoon.

Butterflies and flowers were the highlight. Along with two of the smallest strawberries I've ever seen!

Headed over to Knoll for a late afternoon paddle. Water wasn't as low as I was expecting. Got to watch some osprey successfully catching dinner, and a baldy watching it all unfold from a higher perch.
