White Out in Sierra Nevada

Yosemite,
Yes for 12 days in the spring of 2019.....though a much, much, longer trip than most folk do. Launched at the Hwy 12 bridge, floated 99 miles down to lake Powell, paddled a couple miles across Powell and up Willow Cyn arm, then hiked and bushwhacked (ugly bushwhacking BTW) up Willow Creek about 3 miles to our truck that we had parked off Hole-in-the-Rock road. Amazing trip. Since this is a RV forum, folks might be curious what we did with our RV (travel trailer) while on the river. We simply left it at the large dispersion area just south of Hwy 12 on Hole-in-the-Rock road (great spot to base from when exploring the area, BTW). When we go into the backcountry like this (which is as often as we can) I leave a note on the trailer door saying who we are, where we plan to be, when we plan to return, along with my In-Reach number should a LEO (cop) need to reach us. I realize that some folks wouldn't be comfortable advertising that they are gone like this. But it's only stuff and the important things are with me (my wife, my dog and me) and I think it is good for LEO's to know what's up when they drive by a seemingly abandoned RV. Hoping to do it again this spring....though maybe try to get a powerboat lift back to Bullfrog marina (and a longggg road shuttle back to Escalante) rather than hump our butts, camping and boating gear out of that canyon again. Pray for snow throughout the west.
