Day Five: Blarny and Maiden Water canyons.

We split the group up. Tom took half through Blarny Canyon and Marshal the other half through one of the forks of Maiden Water. Below are photos from Blarny.

We also tried to descend Leprichan canyon but got rained out. Back up at camp we discovered that the storm had knocked down a tent and flooded others.

	Lydia.		Shallow dirt over rock became completely saturated and muddy.
	Marshal.		Time for some group photos: Ilana, Tyler, Laura.
