At the Cimarron River. We arrived around 11am. This day, since we were headed for Upper Bench, a dry camp, our plan was to make dinner for lunch. Afterwards, we needed to fill up all our water jugs and collapsible canteens for the hike up to Upper Bench. This was a popular stop for many crews. James tries to get a signal since the culvert where we are standing since this is just below Highway 64. No luck getting a signal.

The Cimarron River.

Still no signal.

The skies were beautiful...at least we thought, for now.

Chef Kenny at it again.

The water brigade. It was also a great opportunity to soak our feet.

We had heard that some units could order pizza from the river, but the number was crossed out. Oh well!

A little moleskin was needed here by Sam. This was the last photo we would take...storms approaching fast!

We survived a near flood and an electrical storm of major proportions. We ended up taking our packs off and assuming the crouching position. It was scary! Here after the storm, we were treated to an unbelievable amount of hail on the mountain as we hiked to Upper Bench.
