Day 1 - Sand Wash to Upper Gold Hole

Five hour commute from Green River to Sand Wash. The wash itself was in good shape but the dirt road section going in was slow. Mosquitoes were a presence but tolerable during rigging. The mud bog made rigging even more unpleasant than normal. Being second in line to launch also created two cycles of staging/moving all our gear. Although a lot of shore frontage, there was only one small spot that offered non-muck access to the river. Was 4:30 before we gladly watched Sand Wash fade away into the distance. Sand Wash video.
