7/24/2006: Hoback R., Granite Creek to Hoback Junction

With: Gisela Padmali, Bernie Culpepper, Hendrik van Oss, Dean Geis, Lori Geis, Mel Neef, Randi Neef, Phil Kellogg, Brent Smith, Tina Shriver, Ed Evangelidi
Jon and Karen left us for their property near Pinedale and then home to Colorado. Fortunately, we had backup plans for shuttles: Bernie, Gisela, and I hooked up with Hendrik van Oss who was leading the Corbett Trip of Maryland and Texas paddlers.

We ran the Hoback River from Granite Creek to Hoback Junction, and spent a second night in the Gros Ventre Gampground.

This was the first time in our trip that my van was a takeout vehicle, and all three of us left our cameras in the van, so this is the only river for which we have no photos. The photos that follow are actually from Gisela's hike the next day when Bernie and I went to the Wind River without her.

On Tuesday, while Bernie and I were on the Wind, Gisela went with Brent Smith and Tina Schriver, from Maryland, to hike the Teton Mountains, almost directly across the Snake River from the Gros Ventre campground.
