Well, you may not NEED a boat to get across, but that river has floated one helluva boat

Yup, that river floats 988 tons of boat. That thing tore up the valley and pulled out a dredge-load of gold.
Yankee Fork Gold Dredge
Now it's sitting in a pond off the main channel.
Pretty sure I was born in '28...

Heck yes...
There was some interesting trails on this ride. At one point we were in a slotted narrow incised single track about 12 ft below the ground surface above. It was winding all over. Very cool, but a bit unnerving because if someone was coming the other direction with any speed at all, you wouldn't see them and have a head-on. Need to get a pic of that next time.
camped out, watched sun up after first day's riding

Scott, does everyone in that pic have a PBR in their hand?
For a slot trail like you mention here, check out the video in this thread on ADV under the title "Dead Cow #2". Scott, this trail is only about 25 or 30 miles NW of where you guys were camped on that last Moab trip.
