Ibuprophen on board! I'm a bit sore this mornin. Solo trip. It always takes longer to get where I wanna be.. I got back to the truck at just dusk. I would have stayed back in there longer, but that last 3,500' decent out is a rough one to be doing via head lamp with only one good/functioning eye. -Steve
REI has some stuff called Sports Legs that helps with the soreness to prevent it in the first place. So far I've used it a couple of times and seems to help tremendously.
NIce, atleast you were on a trail
was near that area ' little further down the ridge' on friday. Similar story no bears, few ripe berries, not nearly as much bear activity as last yr at this time (had seen 5 or 6 by this point last yr) atleast for me

This was more of a scouting trip than anything else. I had sidearm but did not take rifle. I was looking to find berry and other forage condition. I was surprised at the water source availability. This same area was pretty dry last year at this time. But then I find Blueberrie tops that were scorched, yet grasses and other plants were green and wet. -Steve
