					Here's a mini-documentary of my recent trip from Hog Creek to Isabella Lake, which is a visual of an earlier trip report I made here. I would have liked to have had more time to switch batteries, etc, but a good deal of time was spent just trying to get to the next campsite! You might have to copy/paste the YouTube URL.  https://youtu.be/guTbVfPki4o
