Oh What a Night

On the road most of the day Tom returns toward Base Camp unaware of the devastation that waits for him. Both creeks are full, so full, he wasn't sure he was going to make it through Kane Creek. Needing both hands, no video. The road down Hurrah was partially gone. An apparent two hour cloudburst over the Anti Cline Overlook turned what Tom has been calling the best he's seen the road in three plus years into a boulder field and the worst he's seen the road. Tom has never had a journey to the lodge or an obstacle along the way where he wasn't 100% sure he was going to make it. Last night, he had four situations where he wasn't sure, of which one was doubtful. Tory (Cat Man) and Tom head up Hurrah in the morning to view some of the damage.
