We finally found some dry margins along Huntington Creek, about nine miles north of Sadler Ranch. It was bivouac #19 for us, May 24, 2006. A large bird soars above Huntington Creek as it flows north at our campsite, top right. The west face of the Ruby Mountains appears in the background. Underwater plants form colorful streamers, above. The Donner-Reed Party set down in this general area on September 23, 1846. James Reed had good evidence of "Sinking Creek" here.
