Week 119 Dec. 8 - Carbon River

Total distance: Approximately 14 miles

Elevation Gain: 700 feet

Time: Cannot remember.

Weather: Overcast and cool, a little rain.

Out on a hike with Sean, a student from my school.  He was the kid who I hiked with on outdoor ed and just two weeks before.  Just he and I on our way to the Carbon glacier, but I remember we had a late start with limited daylight.  We carried our snowshoes and used them about a mile past Ipsut Falls.

We crossed the Carbon River at the lower crossing.  It was getting late, so we stopped and turned around.  On the way back, I almost fell into the river off a bridge at the worst place.  The rail saved me.  Sean said the rail moved like it was going to break.

Orchid: Good company.

Onion: Scare on the footbridge.
