Doing the 100 mile wilderness portion going north starting on saturday. was wondering if any of you have any advice on potential high water conditions at the crossings of the pleasant and big wilson stream.

No, we only had one night so we drove in by Bodfish, with a great view of the Barren Ledges and Slide and then hiked in to Wilson Valley, then out the other way the next morning, crossed Big Wilson and looped back around to the truck. . . :)

Hey Invictus let me know how your trip goes. I'll be doing the 100 ml wilderness come Aug. Hope the fords aren't too bad and the weather is good for you.

Snow still on Whitecap/Chairback range in the dips and on the north sides. I just did the Little Boardman Mt over to Whitecap TH north side last weekend as an overnight. Lots of blowdowns, streams pretty normal for this time of year. Cold of course, trail dry, bugs are out, black flies and mosquitoes and it's COLD nights!
