Leprechaun Canyon, November 3 and 4, 2001
Middle Fork, Part I

After a quick lunch in the sun, Dave gives us the beta on Left Fork. Dave and Deb go off exploring.
A few lines in the dirt is all one ever needs.
The crew is now Kurt and Melody, Steve Lewis, Alicia and Tom...

 

Main Fork and Right Fork, from above.
Here's the business parts of the canyons, from above. Amazing slots.

A bit ironic, in this case
As usual, some disagreement occurs as to where to go and what to do.

Remember, be sure to look at the map BEFORE you're lost.
Having walked past the Left Fork (our actual objective), here we enter the Main Fork, not yet aware of our mistake.

Stemming above the void - Melody and Tom starting a Mae West section
The canyon quickly became narrow and started dropping.

Down, down, down we go.  Nothing tighter than my chest would just barely fit through.
And down into the maw. The Middle Fork has a lot of Mae Westing. People narrower than I will not get through.
