We are at the intersection of the North Cabin trail and the cut across to Lily Plain trail.

We find a bridge intact at Steep Creek.

11:11 AM We find no recent tracks down the Steep Creek river crossing trail?

11:22 AM The weather eroded trench instead of a trail leading down to the  North Branch.

One by one we are able to get our sleds "down" the Steep Creek River crossing on to the North Branch with a minimum of scrapes and damage.

11:26
AM With the river access behind us we prepare to blast down to the Power line crossing.
Blasting down to the Power line crossing. Our video man is a brave soul watching carefully for monster sized, icy, sharks teeth sticking out of the snow
