Anyway, dinner was just about ready fresh out of the new dutch oven. Great timing. Camp was set and we settled in.
The canyon was beautiful during the day, but night wasn't bad either.

Leslie Gulch which from an ex-rock climber's standpoint was nirvana. Gorgeous pocket rock with bizarre erosive patterns were everywhere.

At the bottom of Leslie Gulch is the original cabin that a Mr. Lesley ranched out of before being struck by lightening in the late 1800's. Wow, tough luck.

Nice fish! Must be the big brown trout, er, uhm, sorry Ski3, I mean swig down stout that Eric was refering to. You should chase DD down to the eastern Sierras in a few weeks. Great fishing there.the Owyhee river below the reservoir where, as promised, came the icing on the cake..........

After leaving Leslie Gulch and passing through Silver City (which is gonna have to be another trip topic I think), my wife (aka 'beer wench') and I headed to the Owyhee river below the reservoir where, as promised, came the icing on the cake..........
