Middle Fork Trek Update

Ben Brock checked in with Andy Johnson last night via satellite phone. According to Ben, everybody is doing great and having a good time. They hiked about eight miles on their way down from Meadow Ridge to Indian Creek today and camped at Kwiskwis Hot Springs along Indian Creek. If you have an Idaho topographic gazeteer, you can locate them about 17 (straightline) miles SE from Yellow Pine. On Tuesday, the group heads to Pistol Creek on the Middle Fork of the Salmon so another student can join the group.

The photos below were taken as the crew worked their way into the trailhead on Monday afternoon. Andy and Ben cleared 20+ dead falls in order to get them this close to the trailhead!
