Our first bivouac in Huntington Valley was a few miles north of the Donner-Reed Party's projected first camp. We hastily set up in an old corral ahead of an oncoming storm cell. We had been plagued with these for days. The clouds build up over the Diamond Mountains to the southwest, top left. The next morning the sky was clear over the range, left. At "Corral Camp," top right, Lee Bergthold starts to dry out clothing and gear. We packed up and headed north following a fence line, near HCO, above. The actual trail was swamped with water.
