Had a couple of days off from work finally, and decided to get out of cellphone range. Day one my buddy AR and I hiked float tubes in to a remote river on some Obamaland. Nice open path on the first bit.

Im not sure the whitewater rating of a fishcat float tube, but I'm fairly sure we exceeded it. Many times.

Day 2:
Decided to hike the length of this gorge. There's no trail. Walked to a confluence at the base of the farthest ridge you can see in this photo. That was Saturday. I'm still sore.
