Chris,
I would like Jasper in early August for $200.00, and count me in for
Cypress Creek, "the whole story".
Also keen for all of the possibles.
I think this is the year for "Hornet Creek", aka "step into a ground
hornet nest and get the holy @#$%^ stung out of me canyon".
Would be great if Wallace was in the middle of Mt. Rainier park, or
somewhere, anywhere else.
Right now the signs posted read something like a $70.00 fine for
swimming below the waterfalls.
Start early, during the week, not the weekend, and carry the money for
the fine in your dry bag.
Rob
