Prez Gowen waiting for the start (I like the guy in background offering up chair)
Quatro was saying something but I have no idea what
Run off
Within first mile water is running down trail
Michele and Joe
Early into run, soaked.
Ted thinking this is kinda fun.
Ted having second thoughts.
Me in cold water.
Colder.
This is Gary.
Gary is doing well.
Ted and Jim doing recon for better crossing ahead. Nada.
Looking resigned.
Back to Gary. Hasn't moved much but still doing well.
Gary makes a move.
Easy does it. . .
Gary's down!
Really down.
Blurry shot but to show you he did survive.
Laura thinks this is all very funny.
Ted's turn. Laura is wondering, "Can't we just go back the way we came?"
Laura is going back the way we came.
Jim had raised eyebrows the whole entire day.
This guy just kept looking for top-notch sticks.
When Marlin was saying, "I think there might be some bad crossings ahead." Look how cheerful still.
And despite it all, or because of it, we were having fun.
Marlin, Jim, me, Ted
Over the last 10 miles we thought this was nothin'.
Me, Jim, Marlin
It sure was pretty.
Marlin and Jack
Passage Creek

Thanks Ed!
Quatro and Jill, and Jill's amazing banana bread. (And some kind of eggnog thing in the cups: cheers.)
