<b>Rio Bonito</b><br> The creek was clear and fast from the Spring runoff. Prime trout country folks!
<b>My Pack</b><br> Funny, but it seems that as I get older, the pack gets bigger and heavier.
<b>Mini Waterfall</b><br> Argentina Spring was flowing well at the trail junction.
<b>Departure Time</b><br> Once more into the breach dear friends, once more into the breach!
