Opinions needed!
This past weekend with all the rain on Isle Royale it was impossible to keep the boots dry inside!!


::::::If you have weeds , grass etc, say about waste high, covering the trail (so it cannot be seen) soaked brush, it stopped raining and your the first on the trail.

Would the majority(not all) be brushed off when the first person walks through shaking and slightly collapsing the brush down seperating it and there for being able to see the trail better,

Question:: would the majority of the water on the leaves be nocked off by the first person or would there be a equal amount left for the second person to get just as wet through the same brush at theat same time just behind the first hiker...??

Not saying ALL the water on the brush was on you but just shakin from the tree to the ground after a fresh hard rain!!

Its a hard ? to ask but hopefully it makes sense!!

You present a subtle yet involved set of variables. What did the in situ data indicate?

Use you're hiking pole to move the wet brush as you walk by or hike in yer tevas (very tricky on Isle Royale) and shorts.

How was the trip? What sites did you stay at? Did you get to eat thimbleberries and were there loads of other hikers on the island? Did you see lots of moose? Hear a wolf howl? See the Northern lights? Tell me all about it!!!!! =)
