On Saturday, we finally complete the two-mile trip to Bell Springs Road.

Vincent's jeep is waiting on Sunday morning. Deliverance is at hand!

Sunday morning, Vincent drove Aurora leader Jaimie and his wife Maria to their car, trip leader Margaret to her van, and Richard to his camper so he could return North.
Vincent came back, picked up his son Snuller, Jerry and Bonnie, and Jill -- and split. Hester, Stephen, Pauline and I waited another four hours for Margaret, Maria and Jaimie to return.


Mr. Mike delivers Jaimie

I killed some time Sunday morning with a hike along the railroad tracks. Seems the bears like it there, too!

On the drive out, the locals in red pickup trucks glared at us so hotly that Pauline make us laugh with stories about "stink eye."

Jaimie told us several times to turn right at Bell Springs Road. This took us back to Alderpoint (for no reason) and added more than an hour to the trip home. Turning left at Bell Springs road would have put us much closer to Dos Rios where we had left our cars.
I will avoid boating with Aurora River Adventures in the future.

I was very disappointed in the boating portion of the trip.
