Anchors in along the trail to the bottom

Brought out the new generator, my old cheapo Black and Decker hammer drill and some Bosch bits and gave it a shot. Worked like a charm.  Put in eight climbing anchors:  two at the top of the last steep climb to the bottom and six along the ledge like sections of the trail down.  Tried out my Black Diamon belay and marmot climbing rope.  Took a bit.  But got myself and two kids down safely.

The river has been reduced from 420 to 120 cfs.  Noticeably lower but even at shin deep it's swiftness made staying on one's feet a challenge.  Found some warm black volcanic boulders on the BLM side conducive to lounging.  Heartened to see little minnows swimming around although they could be tadpoles for all I know.  Have not seen any large fish in the river here thoughit is  virtually   transparent at certain times of day.
