Building their condo-oops we forgot the ladder


After 2 days at Moore Creek the guys are finally on task again.  They made it to the ridge about 1:30 in the afternoon.  They are marking their trail with the orange, pink and green ties as they are going in.  Funny Dave fact you should know:  Dave is color blind. 

The guys put up their nifty bear barrier as you can see and took a break.  They then decided to continue towards their claim.  They are continuing to mark their trail.  They get to the bottom and realize it’s a marsh with 4 inches of water.  They rode through the marsh and are lucky they didn’t sink.  Another interesting fact:  Moore Creek lost a dozer in marshes like this.  It was completely submerged in the marsh with only the exhaust pipe showing. 

After crossing the marsh they stopped and assessed their situation and saw they were going to have to cut through more willows.  They decided to head back to their campsite for the night.
