thanks for the bug info. Sounds about what I've been experiencing in the Smokies and Slickrock lately.

You're welcome. I took a little pen-sized deet/sunscreen, but I really dislike deet, so I avoid it if possible. I was very happy it wasn't very bad. Gnats don't really bother me until they start sticking to my eyeballs.

I hope you have a great trip!

Salty,
Be sure to have Ken add the pic to the "Hackers" photo collection on his LGorge site!
(Man, that tree is looking plum pitiful. Too bad, eh??)

It'll definitely break your heart!

Hacker is shown on this map.

Here's a collection of pictures of folks at Hacker's Point ... sadly you can see the demise of our little hemlock ...

Like Shug said, on Rock Jock Trail (or technically, just off RJ on Lost Dog Trail), south of Lost Dog Camp. LD Camp by the way is a great place to hang, just don't sleep walk!)

I believe I went out to Hacker's point w/ Bob when we were doing some early work on restoring the trail, but unfortunately didn't get my picture taken w/ the little tree while it was still living.
