Calloway to Cash tank starting from around New Tank. Fr144 and 142 to New Tank are doable in a Subaru or similar when dry. 142 by Calloway Lake has a long muddy stretch that could challenge stock 4wd when wet.

Two mile walk to Calloway then down. Awesome trail construction and tread makes short work of the descent. We were creekside within an hour of leaving the car.

Started swimming pretty soon. The 6 miles of canyon bottom between Calloway and the Cash Tank trail took us 8 hours, not that we were in a rush. Too many pools to count. Floating never seemed to last long. Lots of wading over the rocky creek bottom on some of the slipperiest surfaces known to science. The money stretch was the two miles before, under, and after the powerlines. Dries up a little for the big straight before passing through maybe the best pool a short ways up from White Box. I've been a year plus out of form, and this section of canyon was an undertaking. Incredibly scenic however.

Cash Trail up and roads back to the car. Cash trail was very well defined and the exit point is obvious. Didn't see anyone all day. No camera but did get some pictures with my phone.
