hmmm...looking at the cable pool... now, i've done the mountain goat,
vertigo terror cable crossing with your help, and i've done that insane
90 degree upward scramble around the rock/mountain (the cable is
easier)...now, i'm wondering about swimming up the pool. can't remember
how fast the flow was on the left side or if there were rock ledges to
climb up out of the water. as i recall the walk up the trail over raven
rock would be an asswhip. how about dropping in from the gt
trail...have you done that? ...and when are you starting the labor day
trip? yeah...gettin a bit stir crazy.

Bear's new accessory. He will carry in his own victuals on future
hiking/campin' trips!

Fishin' Wilson Creek and Gragg Prong with my newest fishin' buddy John S.
He and Bear have become buddies and I fear John will win Bear away form me,
as he seems to always have a pocket full of Ritz peanut butter crackers with
him :~^ (

Thanks Charlie! Of course you know I had nothing to do with the creation of
Upper Creek, I just went up there to fish and take some **** poor pics.

We are going to do a campin' trip on Upper during the Labor Day break--Jeff
Miller is trying to figure out his schedule and I invited John Russell from
DC, not sure he'll make it though. Otherwise it will just be My new fishin'
pal John Smith, Bear, and me. Why don't you come up and camp with us, sure
would be good to see ya again!

If ya can't make it this time, keep in touch and let's do it some other
time. It ain't the far West I know, but it's damn near spectacular for this
part of the country!

Take care,
Mark

Thank's for the invite Op, but one of my sons gets married that weekend and I
expect I'd better attend. ;-) I do want to get back up that way again, though.

I hope to post some more pics after Wed., Sat., and Sun. Then there is
Labor Day, which should be a very good time, as I plan to do some campin'
and fishin' on Upper Creek. Will likely go in the Greentown Trail, camp with
some decent folk, and fish up to Upper Creek Falls over several dayz. Then
comes the weekend of Oct. 3, which is an annual event for the folks of Camp
Catch a Buzz. Haven't been with this group in almost 15 years. It's gonna be
interesting, being sober and all that these dayz :~^ )

They will drink and catch all sorts of other buzzes, while I catch wild ass
trout!

Thank you for sharin', JT!
