Durangotang has had his hands full, so here's some photos of Tuesday's
day runs into Yankee Boy Basin and Governor Basin to get us started:
Things are pretty vertical going toward Yankee Boy Basin....
...that is unless they're hanging
over you (including tskalil shown)
Beautiful multi-tier waterfall in Yankee Boy Basin
High country beauty and contrast.

Indian Paintbrush flowers in the high country
Another example of high country flowers
You think that snow will disappear due to the running water and sunshine before it next snows again?

After this, we then broke into smaller groups and individuals. The first expedition group into Governor's Basin was yellowcoyote, kskj, 0311_DOC and Red & Dolly. While giving the first expedition group a headstart, the second expedition group of Strikeagle, MP Jeeper, Troysterr and MtnLuvr, stayed behind and played a little in the water:
(only one of Troysterr's many runs through the water)
(MtnLuvr plowing his KK through)
(Strikeagle plowing through. After which, his kids shouted "do it again!")
(MP Jeeper makes a splash with his KJ Renegade)
Another stream crossing on the way up to Governor's Basin
Beautiful scenery looking down into the Yankee Boy Basin where we had been earlier in the day
