| no partners | | | Set out on a group adventure to the WCC. We intended to go to the White box and hanging gardens but missed our first forest road turn off and ended up on some pretty hairy roads. After going about 2 miles too far past the ranch, we turned left onto 142B which took us to a location at the edge of the canyon about 3 miles upstream of the hanging gardens trailhead. There was a nice trail down to the creek from this location, which apparently is the Calloway Trail. Moving downstream was a bit slow with 12 people. We made it about 1.5 miles before stopping and setting up camp. Once at camp I did some fly fishing and caught 6 smallmouth bass in about 20 minutes on a #16 BWO while the rest of the crew went hunting for crawdads. That night the fire raged, many beers were enjoyed, and a feast of fresh fish, corn, crawdads, taters, and cajun spices was had by all. |

. It looks like the cold front that blew through last week zapped the leaves pretty good, as about 75% of the maples have already shed their leaves. There was however more than enough color remaining to make the trip up worthwhile. The colors seem to be concentrated near the canyon walls, perhaps because those trees are more protected from the wind. We made our way back slowly with lots of exploring and a couple of naps to boot.
