Hay Creek area trails exploration

Debo Powers’ article covers our recent activity in the west end of the Hay Creek drainage, but I thought it useful to include some additional material here.

Here’s a map of the two expeditions Debo mentions. The red track is the Trail 3-Trail 26 survey conducted on September 13. In yellow is the route of the successful September 18 search for the Trail 26-Trail 14 junction.

Randy and I added about a mile to our part of the Trail 3 hike by spending some time investigating Hay Lake.

And here’s a photo of the Hay Creek drainage from the west end that I took on an earlier expedition up Trail 26.
