Diamond Creek

Somewhere I have some slides from boating on the creek, but I scanned this one years ago to memorialize the drive in to the creek, which was just as memorable.

We took the route up and over from Patrick Creek, encountering rocks, downed trees, small landslides, and then an abundance of snow higher up. It was a dicey ride even in a very capable truck with six of us to deal with all the issues. As we were about to get on the water, we felt unsure that our shuttle driver would be able to make it back on his own. So we all put our credit cards in our dry bags in case we gout out to civilation in Gasquest and our driver wasn't there. At least we'd be able to get rooms at the Wagon Wheel Motel in Gasquet (next to Margies, but now gone). But, our driver made it and we managed this as a very long one-day adventure.
