Benchlands Project

It's all there, but a combination of(excuse machine) breaking a knob/conking my head and tweaking my thumb left my confidence a little low. Something to return to....

West Benchlands

Tom and Steve came over from Bozeman with the intent of exploring a bit farther West along the Benchlands and Homestake Creek Drainage to see what might lie there. I met up with them for the day--some photos:

All in all, a place to re-visit and play...

Yesterday morning Mo gave me a few hours off to go exploring--my target was to locate an area of pebbles that Dick Cilley had wandered through and climbed on. After a query and answer on SuperTopo, he said he wasn't familiar with my finds. While I am certain that I was in the right vicinity but at the wrong rocks, my finds were well worth the effort.

Anybody wanna come play?
