Day 11 - Spring Creek Layover
Another layover day here at Spring Creek. It was a great day to scout rapids, eat ice cream at the Shoup store. and refocus on the expedition goals.
After another night of rain the river is up again and currently exceeding the seven foot gauge at Corn Creek which is the start of the six day Wilderness Section. We have placed great emphasis on safety, safety, safety during this trip and unless the river begins to come down we may not enter the canyon.
As a group, however, we feel that this trip so far has exceeded our expectations and feel very strongly that wether or not we reach the confluence, that the CW HOG program has had an extraordinary influence on each of our lives.
We also ran a day stretch down Panther Creek. Willis McAleese as the captain of the ore rig, Bob Meyer, Ricci Kilgore, and Raymond House learned first hand the power of big Salmon water and as they arrived back at camp excitement grew for the coming adventure.
Weather or not we'll pass Corn Creek, wether or not we reach the Snake River this expedition has celebrated the journey of 25 years of CW HOG. There is no match for that feeling.
So cross your fingers for sunny weather, decreasing water levels, and never ending long adventure
