7/31/2018, Gallatin R.: Moose Creek CG to Lava Lake Trailhead
With: Chris Oberlin, Lee Belknap, Liz Bergen, Michele Belknap, Chris Kelly, Craig Wolfe, David Bernard, Dan Bertko
Donna and Evan each took the day off; Evan went into Bozeman to hang out at the University's climbing gym (which offered reciprocal courtesy, I guess, since Evan worked at the climbing gym of the Univerity of Arizona, Flagstaff).
The rest of us all put on together, but Michele and I took out at Lava Lake Trailhead. The worst swim of the trip occurred in the technical water just below House Rock, when the boat got away and wasn't recovered until a half-mile downstream. I roped the swimmer across to the highway side of the river and gave him a ride down to his boat.
Chris and Nanette headed home to Colorado from the takeout. Lee, Michele, Liz, Chris, and I went into Bozeman and met Evan at the very nice Rice Fine Thai Cuisine for dinner. We stayed a second night at Red Cliff CG.
