 |
| Camera shutter got stuck. |
 |
| Headed to Horse Creek which was actually quite a bit less than 5 miles. |
 |
| Pit stop along the way in search of fish. |
 |
| Dustin and I at the bridge crossing Horse Creek. |
 |
| Horse Creek. |
 |
| Horse Creek. |
 |
| Josh caught and later ate this Bull Snake. |
 |
| Dustin and his Bull trout. |
 |
| Butterflies are disgusting creatures. These are Dug's socks and they could not leave them alone. |
 |
| So Dustin was borrowing his father-in-law's fishing pole and ended up losing the tip. So being the mature responsible adults that we are, we tied a rope to him and sent him after it. It made be see in the picture but the Salmon is running at about 33,000 cfs. |
 |
| We took a day hike up Horse Creek in search of slower water to fish in. |
 |
| Horse packer that was bringing in supplies for the trail crew that we encountered. |

 |
| Josh takes a dip. |
 |
| We made are own "fire blanket" to protect the beach. |
 |
| We saw tons of snakes on this trip, mostly Bull snakes and one Rattle snake. Sorry, no photos of the rattler. |
 |
| looking down at camp from trail that heads down river. |
 |
| Matt tried his hand at Cairn making. |
 |
| Does it look like it could rain? |
 |
| Matt's tarp in the wind. |
 |
| Matt created this plate/grill in hopes that someone would catch a fish we could eat.....No luck. |
 |
| This and the proceeding photos are my attempt at an adjustable pot stand to cook with. Not bad for my first attempt. |
 |
| Salmon Fly. |
 |
| Pot stand works like a champ. Initially when set up we didn't need the rock at the base because it was perfectly balanced. When I moved it closer to the fire I had to add the rock. |
 |
| WTF? This photo was taken just minutes after we all headed for shelter in a storm that didn't last long. They said they were hot. |
 |
| Had lunch in Shoup on the way out and in search of hot springs. |
 |
| No hot springs found, decided to spend the last night at Lola Creek Campground. It was considerably colder this night than all the ones before. |
 |
| Dustin felt left out and decided to buy a hammock in Stanley. He used a make-shift army quilt underneath. He slept cold. |
