Return to Day Canyon [MOAB]

The mouth of Day Canyon abuts Potash Road a mile or so downriver from the Gold Bar Recreation Area.
On a previous trip to Moab I explored the canyon briefly: https://pbase.com/listorama/pl_ut_moab2_day1 .
On this trip I went past my previous turn-around point: the process of discovery was fulfilling.

Photos were uploaded at Moab and will be incorporated in a larger collection of images posted from home.

I got half-way up the canyon. The only water I saw was a plunge pool in a side canyon (third photo above). On a later trip, documented on Flickr, I hiked from the top end to the mid-point: https://www.flickr.com/photos/listorama/sets/72157623206801486/ .

How far did you get up the canyon? Do you think you could go farther? I know this was years ago, but how much water was there farther up canyon? Thanks!
