    There is some water but it will be in small stagnate pools filter a must, it's only going to get to about 50* so i'm usually good with a pad and good sleeping bag, I haven't seen any thing on fire bans yet, Oh and the cool nights have gotten the snakes coming out late in the evening to sun on the rocks. if you have a emergency 911 will call saline county and our # is 618-287-2271 Hardin County Sheriff's Dept. where the ESDA will come from. If you have any questions just ask........dang I with I was off this weekend....mad face.....oh the bugs are still out here

    Great map Survivor! Yep, those are the spots I was talking about. Here are my pics... IMG_4977.jpgIMG_4979.jpg

    I lost a pedometer while taking a break on a log not far from the western most camping spot, going to try to find it. Treasure hunt! Looks like a little horse action on the way up to those spots. Here's a pic I had in the series just before the overlooks... IMG_4973.jpg

    When people ask me how hiking can be hard I can show them that lol.

    They're forecasting rain for St Louis Friday night and most of So Il from what I can see. Is that what you guys are hearing?

    I'll be down a little earlier than planned, I'll send out my cell in case there's any confusion. Gideon, will you have a GPS with you?

    No GPS but I'll find you at the Pharoah's camp ground. If you decide to move, leave a note under your wiper blade of where you "think" you're going and I sent my cell, so if there's cell service we'll work it out. If not, we'll manage it and no matter what, no worries!
