Thanks Michael, but its not as bad as you would think. Hike a few miles, glass, repeat over and over again and the miles just fly by.
A little side story.
The first year I was looking for an area to hunt the high hunt I started scouting in the Pasayten. So my best friend, my cousin and I headed into Remmel Lake. (sp) My best friend and I were 21 and my cousin was 14. My cousin hiked in basketball shoes while we hiked in trail runners. We left the truck at 5:00am and got back at 8:00pm. I don't know if any of you are familiar with that trail but it is 17 miles one way to the lake.
After hiking in trees for 17 miles we took a 2 hour break for swimming and eating lunch and then headed back to the truck. I don't know to many 14 year olds that can say that they have hiked 34 miles in a day but he can. The worst thing about the hike is that you couldn't really see anything the whole hike because of the trees. We did see a bull moose though which was really cool. After that hike I have never been back to the Pasayten. Branden
