how was the milage.

I'm glad that i bailed, i came down with a bad cold saturday. that would have sucked about 18 miles in.

I'm heading up there this weekend. I might do it solo if i'm 100%

Hey Opie, mileage worked out pretty good. I think the route is a butt kicker either way you go. Last day we started around 7:30am finished at the dam around 2:30pm

I thought the mileage was just right. The only bad part is the long day on Sunday made for a late drive home.

Great trip, I enjoyed it very much.

Here are my pics:

Great pics. Wish I had brought a camera. It was good to meet you Eaglej. Had fun hiking with you Quenton and Mocs. The mouse was very real and very frozen. Mocs when did you see the bear? Anyone up for a day hike up shuckstack from Fontana? Look forward to hiking with you all again.

did he fall in your water bag and freeze over night?

Are you picky about how long your "tea" steeped?

If you filter the water...is it still ok?....lmao

Great pictures. Thanks for sharing eaglej and Mocs. Great to meet Mocs & Goldbond. Looking fwd to the next trip. Note that I gave myself a trailname instead of just "Quintin". Maybe I can get a real one next trip.
