Hi...I've been up all the drainages in Pole Creek.  I believe she is on a branch of the North Fork of Pole Creek.  There was a trail in that area.  Maybe she just dropped off the ridge to avoid weather.  I could see clouds up that way (from Silverton) earlier today.  She could have decided it made sense to camp as it was getting late.  Most years these drainages have some water also. 

Hi...new here...my brother is in this race so I am lurking.  This gal is just about to a spot that has water most of the time.  I ride this trail often from Hotel Draw to the top of the first Indian Trail summit and back.  I, too will watch.  Was thinking of riding the Blackhawk loop on Thursday anyway.

Anyone know about Bill Shands?  Icon is stuck at top of Hotel Draw.  Assume it is a malfunction.  He is a friend of my bro so I am concerned.
