Back a day early because of the big wind event forecasted for tomorrow. Not a good time to be out on the water. The rest of our time was awesome - so awesome that we never even got the tent out, which meant a new campsite every night of the trip. And it was my birthday right in the middle of it when we camped at the head of Desha - one of my dream spots to park the boat. We ended up going up lake 85 miles one-way (without side canyons) to the current high water mark in the San Juan Arm near Zahn Bay. After we got past Wilson in the San Juan, we only saw one other boat and two jet skis until the way back this morning. In July. INCREDIBLE.

Exploring Great Bend on Friday night:

Total Nights: 7

Mammoth Yellowstone 1 night
Mt. Baird 1 night
Grand Canyon 1 night
Red Rock Pass Road, MT 1 night

Heber City in an RV park for 3 nights. I tolerated this because we were there for the riding not the camping.

And on 4th we hiked and did the Hansen Cave tour.

This was my first time sleeping under just a tarp in the big bag woods. It was pretty breezy through the night so I didn't think bugs would be a problem, but I still had a couple mosquitos buzz me and land on my forehead whereupon they were immediately smashed.

Could have hung in the nearby trees, but this time I put my hammock into ground mode and used it as a bug bivy in the meadow.

I took Fiftymile down the AB & C sections of the Green River below Flaming Gorge Dam. Incredible float with tons of fun little rapids and one class III that was a total blast to run. Wish I was still there.

First trip as a new Scoutmaster. Anticipated this place to be a zoo once we saw the trailhead parking. Turned out to be real nice.
