Hey Folks,
Yet another field trip, yet another video.
Bear with me--I'm still learning the rudiments of videography, and my lame computer can barely churn out usable video. (My source video is much higher quality.)
In fact, my computer couldn't process my video from this site as a single clip, so it it presented as two clips.
Enjoy!
Barry
Part I
Part II

So I guess you made it back across the raging torrent. Which site was near the campground? Site number 3?

Hi Bob,
Site 1, very small.
Site 2, upstream, larger.
Site 3, upstream further, very large, with Darlingtonia. Near the campground.
Site 4, above the campground, very small.
Sites 2 and 3 were on the far side of the river, 1 and 4 were on the car's side of the river.
As a source of some shame, I found an obvious bridge crossing, so I didn't have to go back across the water. That was good, because the water nearly knocked me to the ground a couple of times. It's kind of hard to walk, when your legs are so numb you can't feel them!

Thanks for the videos, Barry. Great stuff. That small, localized colony was very curious. I wonder if it was man made and is the start of something permanent and more wide-spread? Fascinating!

Fantastic videos, Barry (and Beth)! Those glades are truly beautiful to see, and they seem to be very rich in flora of all sorts. But, the most amazing thing about the video is that apparently, you can tie your shoes without looking at them...

Hey Jim,
The whole shoe-tying-without-looking bit was done with cg.
I'm glad you didn't video me, when we were together on that trip in SC and I was descending that steep cataract bog on a rope. The language....

How far of a hike is it from the parking area to these sites both in Butte and Sierra Cos?

Wow, I can't generalize easily. The first contact with sites usually takes about an hour of bushwacking. No trails. Some sites take less, others take LOTS more.
Then, once I find the site, I can often backwards-engineer a best-approach. Sometimes what was first a two hour bushwack can be turned into a 20 minute hike, if you time it right and have the right vehicle!
