made the run. beautiful weekend.
much less snow this month- i was winching thru here last month.

spent friday looking at access that is still too wet before making camp on the river just upstream from the hot springs.
i knew of a webgroup that was going to be in the area and met one of the group saturday(tom)and crossed trail with the rest on sunday. i intended to see them later at the b riley site, but they moved too fast.
i went out thru nevada and got home monday.
i was able to use the winch some more. once was 'cause i wasn't paying attention and fell into a "track trap". must have been very big tires that made this trap- my wheels didn't touch bottom!

starting to get a handle on my 2m setup. made my first contact. seems the gear works and i didn't sound too lame.
lots of rafters.
good run.
