Wind River Range- Bonneville Basin and Gunnison Colorado hiking and fishing

I am posting the pictures separately because every time I put them in the narrative, I got an error message and the post did not appear on the forum.

Here are some pictures from within Bonneville Basin:

The Following is my favorite picture from the whole trip.  It is of an abandoned cabin near the shortcut from the Scab Creek Trail to Raid Lake.

I found it ironic that I flipped when I was on a guided tour in order to “play it safe” this year. It’s ironic since I ran a much larger stretch of the river (including this one), 4 years ago without a guide and I did not flip. 4 year ago, I choose to forgo the 70 dollar guided tour in order to save money. Instead, I rented a 20 dollar leaking kayak from a gas station and a guy drew me a “map” on a piece of paper, He told me: “you’ll have no problem finding the take-out”. However, I missed the take-out and I ended up paddling through miles of private river (accidentally) until I reached a point where the forest service put up a sign saying: “Do not paddle beyond this point. Dangerous water and low bridge” and the land owner put up signs on both sides of the river saying: “No portaging. Private Property…..violators will be prosecuted”. Initially, I was going to try it……but last minute I saw the waterfall, which was immediately followed by a low bridge. Therefore, I got out at the last minute and I ran for the road. The land owner say me and he had his dogs chase me as I dragged a 55 pound kayak, gear, and a pump the gas station owner gave me b/c he knew the kayak had a little leak. A guy passing by saw me being chased by the dogs and he says: “Hey kid……jump in” and I jump in the bed of his pick-up truck with the kayak. He said: “Normally, I’m the one who calls the cops on people like you. My job is to watch the properties of a number of absentee land owners in the area for the hunters and fisherman who sometimes trespass…….but I just felt so bad for you….seeing you drag all of that stuff while being chased by dogs”. It’s one of those moments that are not fun in the moment, but you laugh about it years later when you think about it !
