Not too much excitement today. Scouted a few locations looking for grouse.
Grouse Mountain (yes, that is its real name). Top half is closed due to last year's Troublesome fire (800K acres). But I drove through about 80% of the roads that were still open.
Pumphouse Recreational Area: completely packed with rafters, kayakers, drift boats, a Dusky Wading fishermen by the truckload. No thanks.
Radium Spring: 3 miles from Pumphouse and meant for fishing not grouse hunting.
Williams Fork Reservoir outlet: okay, so most of what I looked at was for fishing. Class 5 rapids...not wadeable.
Spring Creek: I'm camped there now. More tomorrow.
The vast open spaces continue to impress. Look at this pic in which you can see the western side of the valley getting clobbered by a thunderstorm while east and north have sunshine.
BTW, I'm going to put out a bounty for the jerks who stole my camp chair, bucket, and dish towel while I was away for the day.
Wide open spaces are beautiful. Are you cooking anything or eating backpacker stuff?
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha they stole your bucket
