With the temperature still below 30 degrees, John, Henry, Richard, and Harrison made a 60 mile road trip to the waterfalls on tributaries of Dry Creek and to Factory Hollow. We had a few difficult stream crossings, and slid around a bit on the ice, but no injuries or damages.

John, Richard, Dennis, and Harrison rode to the two waterfalls in Sugar Camp Hollow. The flood rearranged several bridges, and took one over the waterfall, but the big bridge over Horse Creek was undamaged ( a tribute to the re-builder Pat Riley). We found several good fossils including a nice trilobite.
