RUS,
It's an old picture, It's been posted more than twice. Since it is in a National Park the Sparkmaster has to stay home. He's camped out on top of my gear right now thinking he's going.
Jenn,
The Ringtails come every night, hopefully we'll get some more pictures. I didn't even wake up for last years raids.

It was another memorable trip. I ditched the spinning gear and went cold turkey to fly fishing. I got my butt handed to me. Trying to nymph in a big river wasn't a good time to learn. The wind didn't help things. I only caught a few while my Brother and Terry were hauling them in. I also have to come to grip with the fact that I need to get bifocals, Just can't see those size 22 flies and had a hard time tieing all the various knots required for fly fishing. The ringtails were silent this year, at least we didn't see them.
Sunset from camp
From the bottom looking up the start of the Warner Point Trail, you can see about half of the 2800' foot climb in three miles
Hiking out
From the top of Warner Point: SOB Draw on the North Rim, a popular route into the BC, with the West Elk Wilderness in the background.
Fun was had by all,

BeanMan, Sounds like a great trip and i know what you mean about glasses. i was out on our nearby lake one evening this spring in a float tube when a hex hatch came off and big trout were boiling all around me. For some reason, that night my eyes were a tad blurry and i couldn't see to even tie a big extended body hex dry on. Talk about near panic...Sucked!!
Did you find any drop horns? I haven't hunted below Gunnison for many years but the last couple times i did, we found dozens of huge muley drops on the benches below the hiway. We were hunting bucks not drops. We'd bring out a few of the best each day and by the end of the hunt we had quite a pile but in those days, no big deal. Have been kinda wondering with all the interest in drops, if a guy could still find em there.
