If you're concerned about staying warm I'd avoid Russell Gulch. We went through two weekends ago and froze our digits off. We were literally swimming/wading through ice water, and at one point I...

Oh yeah, still a blast. Went in on Saturday. Just bring an extra layer to throw on in between the wet spots if you're prone to cold. Can't help you with the road situation, we stuck to 95.

Morocco looked like it was about as full as it could get. A couple waist deep wades, the pothole before the bridge is chin deep unless you can stem around. Right Lep was also fully saturated, having...

Mentioned this in another thread but figured it could use a thread of its own. Just a heads up for those thinking about doing Morocco in the next few days--we came upon a small rattlesnake (juvenile?...

Did Right Lep and Morocco this weekend. Both were very wet and muddy (not the bad kind of mud though). My third time through Right Lep, never seen it like that. Neck deep pool in one spot, along with...

Yeah. I couldn't believe it myself. 17 separate strands of webbing, slings, and even 4mm paracord, tied together.

Yep, that's most likely mine. I'm going to PM you now. Thanks, Seth!

Thanks, peakbaggers. Oh yes, the lake is definitely back. It's a long swim (I'd estimate 50 yards or so), and very cold. We didn't wear wetsuits, although there were times when I wished I had (like...

The "lake" of Mystery Canyon (deep and swampy right now) swallowed up one of our ropes :facepalm1: this past weekend. It's a 120 foot Imlay Canyonero (green/blue), stuffed into a sage green Imlay...

Sure does. Narrowing my choice down to the Quick Pod or the XShot 2.0. Thanks!

Great work jman! Love the pace of the vid. I'll be down there to do Das Boot in a couple of weeks for the first time, so it's nice to get a sneak peak of the entire route.

Btw, what monopod do...

Thanks for the reply, mtnrunner. I see it now on my Earthwalk Press map after looking a little closer. Probably going to give this a crack. If so, we'll be going over it from the Lonesome Lake side....

Great TR and shots! What is the route like up and over Texas Pass? I'm not seeing it on either of my topos. Is it all cross-country navigation, or is there an actual trail? Gonna be up there in a...

Thanks for sharing Scott! Looks like everyone had a blast.

I have to respectfully disagree here; I found a wetsuit this past Saturday to be very, very helpful. As did the other two members in my group. Are they vital? Absolutely not. You'll get by just fine...

Shan--they're getting pretty bad. But I guess "bad" is a very relative term. They don't seem to bother some people as much as others. Went down the Highline Trail and stayed at Jean Lake last...

Kballing, thanks for the trip report. Was actually planning on hiking up to White Pine this Sunday. Would you say the snowy sections right before the lake are snowshoe worthy? Or is it sticky and...

Natekat, I just posted a Buckskin trip report a few days ago. It was *bone dry* last weekend (with exception to the spring near the confluence, of course). But the region received some rainfall...

*No* water whatsoever in Buckskin this past weekend. Muddy remnants of once-standing pools are evident, but your feet are gonna stay dry. No ropes or webbing were necessary for us. When you get to...

Yup! Been down to Sandthrax a couple of times. If I've got it right, I'll find you guys closer to the first entrance (coming from the North), correct?

Deliberation concluded; This sounds way too good to pass up. I'll be swinging down Friday night, hopefully leaving SLC by 4. If anyone is interested in a carpool, lemme know. Looking forward to...

Hey folks,

New to canoneering (and primarily a photographer), this sport is bringing out the cinematographer in me (or is at least trying to). Two weekends ago, a few friends and I headed down to...

Great capture, thanks for sharing. Any idea if he was using the new GoPro helmet cam?

Thanks for the replies. I'm not sure if the group will be into a float, so I'll look into the Ramp and Cistern suggestion.

Good stuff! Have had my eye on a GoPro for a while now. Looks like you stayed warmer than some friends of mine who went down Burch a few weeks ago, who really froze their butts off.
