Well we've been busy little bees since the Fantasy Falls trip. Soon after taking off Fantasy and heading back to Grass Valley to run a few errands and check water levels we were back on the road south to Dinkey Creek.
The drive proved to be a little more taxing than we were expecting, so upon arriving to the take-out we promptly slept with high expectations for the following day. The drive to the put-in turned out to be longer, more complex and confusing than any of us were expecting, but we managed to make it to the hike in point in decent time after a good few wrong turns and 8 point turnarounds on the maze of FS roads. We hiked in the heat, but were soon rewarded with the granite goodness Dinkey offers to all comers.
