Road to Sand Wash in very good shape (as of June 12), drove slow and steady
Launch ramp had a bit of mud, but very accessible
Very few skeeters at put in, but more downstream, lots of spiders!
No bear sightings, fresh prints at Rattlesnake camp and canyon
Water level was dropping rapidly, great flow, current strong and...
WIND!
Not surprised, as it is Deso, but 3 full days of gusts estimated at 40-50 mph
Weather was cool for June, water temp COLD
Scouted Steer Ridge, Joe Hutch Canyon, Wire Fence/Three Fords, Coal Creek
Smoke and haze from Arizona (?) fires
Camps in good shape
Shuttle by RRT great as always, thank you
Very few folks on the river and at Swaysey's
Had a great time with friends!
