Story

Friday morning we woke up excited to do Laughing Baboon, to find the 20% chance of rain that was forecasted turned into 5 hours of drizzle. While we waited, we did a short hike up Miller's creek. By the time we got back to camp, runs of water had started in a dozen spots coming off the cliffs. I was a little sad. assuming that the canyons would all be full and the much anticipated challenge of the canyons we wanted to do would not give us their full potential. We made lunch and it was still raining so we crashed in our tents. Mark hiked the bench to Happy Dog and Laughing Baboon and informed us they were both flowing. After a 2 hour nap we woke up to blue(ish) skies. We grabbed our packs and left for Laughing Baboon at 3:00.
