So, you were with the CHAOS group Peter and I met at the Ida-Chiefs Cheley saddle. I'm glad you liked the pictures, and thanks for the addition about the Eureka Ditch. I followed the ditch pretty closely, but apparently missed the dam.
brenta - well... not surprising if you missed the ditch modification. My use of the word 'dam' is only accurate if it covers "small pile of rocks and dirt". A photo of the diversion (showing the stream turned toward the western side of the Divide) is here. We only saw it because we almost fell in it, clawing our way through the willows.

great reportThere's a big difference being intrigued by a route on a map and hearing first-hand what it's like each step along the way. Thanks for the report!
