Also to add you guys must have been moving bigtime everyday to do all of this in 10 days. Gosh, I would get back in here camp, dayhike all around, stay for daysss, and enjoy life. Glad that you guys are still in the shape to do all of this. Yea for You! Again loved all the photos.
Also to add though that the route from the Upper Thorofare Creek to the North Fork of the Yellowstone did not have a name. Did it when some outfitting guide drew a pencil line on a map. Also a the top, it is a notch here between the drainages. Never heard the term Majo Pass for the place till now.
Near where the side drainage comes into upper Thorofare Creek, if I remember right that right after the side Drainage the upper Thorofare Creek does a bend to the left. And along the Upper Thorofare Creek itself it is open along the area with meadows where the side drainage comes in. Then in going up the sidedrainage past possibly the remains of the old outfitter camp. There was some rusty bed mattress coil springs here rusting away. Then afterwards up thru the trees to Madsen Basin. Big cliffed peak overlooking Madsen's Basin here. One can easily see the little Creek coming down thru a cleft in the ridge. The old trail is on the extreme right side of the basin and quickly gains attitude. And it goes up above and near the Creek.
If you go up the Upper Thorofare Creek, here is still some open areas, then remember a bend to the left one has gone to far, if I remember right. But an old trail continues up the Upper Thorofare Creek also. In the Upper Thorofare Creek area has been a fall hunting camp in here for years so they must have little routes all over this country if one really explores around the area.
And Scatman, Bob, along with anyone else might be interested. By using the latest Bridger Teton FS map, the about location using longitude and lattitude by there map where this route takes off from Upper Thorofare Creek is as follows ... T 47 N and R 108 W and in square 21 by their map. This is located right north of 44 degrees, 00'00", along with right east of 109 degrees 52'30". At satellite maps it shows some meadows nearby where this subdrainage meets up with the Upper Thorofare Creek. Remember bushwhacking with no trail around in this lower area when in the meadows and trees near the Upper Thorofare Creek. But once in Madsens Basin, there is the route on the right side. Years ago came down and over, then went a sort bit down the Thorofare Creek and camped for a bunch of days back in here.
Hope this helps in any future endeavors in this area.
