i understand where the trailhead is just fine. what i'd like to know is, which way is upstream? east or west? i'm guessing west, but if it's east, do i stay on brushy, or do i go up capsey?

maybe someone could mark the campsite on the google map, in addition to the trailhead

Crash if you knew what upstream was then it wouldn't matter wheather it was east or west or south or north!!! UPSTREAM means the opposite way from the direction the water is flowing!!!

Simple...WEST

Map reading the terrain would help, but I will assume here that you do not yet have a map.

Honestly, was not meant as a troll...from the photos on google, it'd be hard to determine the stream flow direction, and without a topo map you might not know...

CB...ease up bro...I really WAS trying to answer your question, no malice intended.

sorry, tb, but theres A LOT of trolls and trolling on this board, and the busting of the balls, and so on and so forth

add that to your incomplete profile and fresh off the turnip truck status...

anyways, consider yourself initiated....youre not a tt'er til someone calls you a troll

so....welcome to our little hell
