    Yeah it's a good video ... but seems there should have been an unicycle in there shouldn't there? I'm just saying .... what would Shug have done?

    He would have been more dramatic about Slowhike being lost in the gorge, with impersonations from Deliverance!

    My mistake was trying to make it believable... just plain bad acting!

    Here's the map. "CampCon" is the campsite. "WaterCon" is the water source we used. We actually parked at the ConleyOld waypoint which is the old Conley Cove parking area.

    I forgot to mention that we could have left most of our food at home.
    We did pretty well just "living off the land'... "eating what we found right there in the wilderness!!!"
    I too will something make and joy in it's making

    Yeah, we could have "gorged" ourselves with what we were able to procure on our own. It's a real land of plenty!

    We collected so much that we had to make a cache and leave half of it behind.

    There were even things that we chose not to take, because we preferred what we had at that point.
