my campsite at 122 Mile Camp
06:25 early sun hits BA and Redwall across river from our camp (we are on river right)
06:39 many ravens at this camp
ravens were even checking out the boats - we lost nothing on this trip which was doing well as ravens take anything not nailed down.
06:53 Groover at 122 mile camp
07:58 BA topped with dolomite
08:18 this mornings reflections are nice!
08:42 we pass Randy's Rock (a bad place to strand a boat) - read the story of Randy Breckenridge here
10:22 we have stopped at Stone Camp for a long hike up Stone Canyon -way above Stone Creek falls for almost 5 hours - as we get ready to leave camp for the hike I took the photo of the "green hair" algae growing along the river
10:29 we do not stop at lower Stone Creek falls but head up a steep trail downstream of it to bypass the falls and head up canyon
10:40 we are high above the falls on our bypass route
10:43 looking up the canyon we are going up - we will top out near the middle layer at a waterfall almost two hours up
11:13 photos of the hikers at our stops along the way up canyon
11:13 we get closer . . .

11:20 we see a lot of flowers on this hike - this was a wet summer giving us a riparian feel (dense in spots) and more plants in bloom than I typically see late in the season
crimson monkeyflower
yellow flower I did not ID
more crimson monkeyflowers (a lot of these in/beside the stream)
11:36 bee checking out a large yellow flower
12:15 a fall finally ends our hike
we stop here for our snacks/lunch
