Jeff Stant and I took the first steps on our new book project on the Charles C. Deam Wilderness by bushwhacking across a foot-deep snow accumulation between the Blackwell Horse Camp and the Mt. Carmel Fault, a geological formation that runs some 50 miles through four Southern Indiana counties and the Deam’s western end.
Due to a late start and a rapidly sinking sun, we reached the fault but turned back before descending to a valley full of waterfalls, which had been the goal.
We will get an earlier start next time.
