Upper Halfway River Springs

Posted by Doug on December 27, 2008

 

Tried to find these springs this past summer (2008). Didn't locate the source, but apparently was in the right area. I've attached a Google Earth kmz showing the route taken, also attached a MapSource file showing the area.

If anyone can confirm or clarify these springs, please let me know. Will try again to locate them next summer...

Hi Doug!
This is the info someone sent me for these springs years ago. It appears the coordinates I have are approximate and 22kms North of your Waterfall waypoint on your GDB file. This may not help but with other members input we might be able to narrow it down.

Thanks Guy. I chatted with a fellow on the Soak forum. He figured I was pretty close, likely only 10 minutes further to go.

Did you get into Angel yet? I was hoping to go to Octopus but with all the snow, will have to wait till spring...
