Crap!!! Nothing more to say

Just to update everyone... We have a plan.

Attendees:
Kerflop
Skygzr
Hoot (WOOO HOOO, was a little worried there)

The Plan:
Hoot and I are coming from KC, so we are going to head down after work on Tuesday night. We will drive right to Hwy A trailhead where we are going to make camp for the night. According to Skygzr, there is a place with a fire ring and trees to hang from. Weds, Skygzr will meet us at Hwy A and we will pile into his vehicle (leaving mine at Hwy A), and head to the Berryman trailhead. We talked about being on the trail by 10 am. Weds night, we will stop at the Hazel Creek Camp for the day. Day 2, Thursday, we will attempt to make it to somewhere around mile marker 59 (see the OT maps linked below)... Friday, don't remember exactly where we were going to stop, but it will be somewhere before Hwy a trail head. Day 3, Saturday we are headed to Bell Mnt. This is the part that I really am looking forward to seeing. We are looking to stay the night on Bell on Saturday. Sunday, up early and out so we can grab some grub and headed home.

If anyone else is planning on going, contact us here or reach out to Skygzr, Hoot or myself so we don't leave without you.

Sorry about being late to respond, but I have been resting up and staying away from the computer. Anyways, I wanted to thank both Skygzr and Hoot for a wonderful time... Even though it wasn't exactly what we planned, I do call this a success. It was loads of fun, even though I was sure I was going to freeze to death on Tuesday night . My leg is fine, although still very sore. No serious damage and I should be back out in the backcountry soon. If you guys haven't been on the OT, you need too... The section we did was beautiful and unforgiving. We had ample water, the weather was beautiful and the company was second to none. Looking forward to my next trip on the OT...
