Here are the pics. I am still working on a trip report. Sorry it is taking so long. When I got home from the trip I discovered a couple of trees had blown down in my yard. My evenings have been busy cleaning up.

The temps were in the high 80s during the day and 60s - 70s during the night. I slept without any cover and never got cold. There was a nice breeze blowing most of the time. The breeze kept the bugs away except one evening that the deer flies were bad. We did a few short hikes and did not have many tick problems either. It was a good time for the trip. When I got to warm I just hit the creek.

Yea well getting cold would have been the least of my worries.. lol. How was the river level? Was the water temp on the rise then? I was thinking of doing a cabin over at Devils Den in the upcoming month or two. That or over at Syclamore Creek there at 56.

The level was not bad at all. We drug once because we were not paying attention. That is with a heavy loaded canoe. The water temp was a little chilly. IThe temp actually dropped after we got below Big Creek.
