  • Inaugural Backpacking Trip Gone Wild

    • Clue 1: don’t hike where the map indicates bog-like conditions

    • Clue 2: stop hiking if trails are not where they should be

    • Clue 3: find another hiking route if the bog-like conditions turn out to be true

    • Clue 4: stop hiking and find new route when the trail ends - don’t assume the trail will “get better” or we will find the trails on the other side of these thorn bushes, thick brush and more big-like conditions

    • Great Advice: hike with great people. We hiked for ten hours through very tough conditions. Each trail dead-end resulting in rethinking the route and backtracking. Throughout we kept our cool and had some great laughs along the way.
