Breaks Interstate Park is one of my favorite places in the world. We had a great weekend with great weather (no drysuits required this year). Wildlife was present throughout camp and the leaves and rock formations were great even though it had been super dry there recently.
We had unseasonably warm temperatures at the Russell Fork in beautiful Haysi, VA/Elkhorn City, KY. I believe it was the first time when drysuits nor neoprene were necessary. Some of us camped, others roughed it at the Gateway Motel.
We had 12 on the Upper on Saturday (myself, Greg, Delane, Joe, John, Trent, Joel, Andy, Mort, Chris, Ed, and Johnson)
5 of us continued to do the Lower (myself, Greg, Mort, Chris, and Johnson)

to the Garden Hole take-out:
Greta Durbin and Marlow Durbin (first timers), Joe and Tammy Laurick,
Kevin Kizer, Lorraine Burnham, Martha Mount, and a woman from western
North Carolina (I don't remember her name). Weather was great and
comraderie was superb. We ate dinner at the barbeque place in
Kentucky.
