Tom's 55th birthday.

Camping at OC's - same camp as last time.  Really rough eddy so sleeping on the boats is virtually impossible.  I'm on the Barbie chair at the edge of the beach.  Really not digging the sand.

Hiked Surprise Valley today.  Left at 7 am - Peachey, Celia, Lisa Hendy, a Park Ranger and me.  Steve left at least an hour later and caught us on the way down out of the Valley.  The ranger was cool.  She showed us some neat archealogical stuff.

We got to Deer Springs by noon.  (Thunder River by 9:30 am).  Steve and I hung out at the Throne Room until ~2:30 pm.  Deer Creek is so cool with its curved canyon.

Short float to OC's - across from Deer Creek.  Good social hour for Tom's birthday.
