If you turn around and go up to Silverton, please look for the Gore-tex jacket I left in a Mexican restaurant back about 1987, send it to me if they still have it.
Here is one tip I can give you: watch out for the Porcupines! Especially along Johnson Creek, where marauding herds of PPs attacked us as soon as we got in the tents!
We were not "attacked" up in C. Basin, but a PP still chewed through the shoulder strap on my buddies NF Back Magic Pack. But he is still using a repaired version of that pack 27 years later. He use it on last years Saw Tooth Hike and his son used mine that I (stupidly) sold to him years ago.
