The creek was cold and flowing well... the bushwhack is legendary and no easier than the last time I hiked it a few years back. We stopped at Devils Gate and each of the campgrounds checking out the historical sites, massive mushroom patches and random footprints. We paid for this by navigating the creek and intermittent trails for the last two hours before arriving at Ant Camp after 8PM. Lost my glasses on the bushwhack and did not realize they were gone for over an hour. Poison Oak got the best of one in our group and my ankle took a wrong turn... Overall great trip and we continued our hike to a camp less than a mile from Piedra Blanca the next day. My intention was to continue for another 5 days but we had a ride out that allowed us to heal our wounds and come back another day...Gravityhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16232130114679441335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7725929327956365942.post-26989852341590988622012-12-20T09:17:07.140-08:002012-12-20T09:17:07.140-08:00Strong work Lacey & Co.!

I have done it six times since then (16 now) and i still think the narrows are exceptional. :)Laceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14402677794985058972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7725929327956365942.post-81256794896594151802010-11-18T11:49:49.432-08:002010-11-18T11:49:49.432-08:00Hey guys, the VCCC link dosnt work.
