    Mind if I join?

    Not 100% sure I can make it, but the route you picked is the exact one I have been looking at for the past couple of months.

    Hi Skygzr; I won't commit at this point but would like to make this one. I'm coming off a bad knee injury so I don't know if I'll be in shape by then; that along with a new job and it might be tough but it sounds like a simply outstanding hike.

    I always thought I liked warm weather hiking/hammocking but I'm starting to think I enjoy the colder weather events even more.

    Thanks for putting something out there.

    Pyro and I are planning a short easy over nighter sometime in September. When we finalize our plans I'll put it out there for anyone to join us. It'll be a chance to get the knee going again.

    Enjoy the new week!
    Gideon

    Itinerary and Outline

    Wednesday Nov 13 Day 1
    • Meet at the Berryman Campground off Hwy 8 by mid afternoon and shuttle car/cars to Hwy A parking lot- return to Berryman and hang in the campground ( can explore Berryman Trail and loosen up) car camping food and adjust gear as needed

    Thursday Nov 14 Day 2
    • Start from Berryman campground OTMM 32. Hike to Hazel Creek Trailhead OTMM45.
    As I recall this section can be a bit boggy and overgrown, but plenty of water available and a good first day of 13 miles. The Hazel Creek trailhead is a primitive spot , but does have fire ring and picnic tables

    Friday Nov 15 Day 3
    • OTMM45 to OTMM59 from Hazel Creek Trailhead to Nazarenko Spring (just before junction with Council Bluff Lake loop trail. 14 miles*. Relatively straight forward section with your typical trail- up to a ridge line and then down to the creekbed.

    Saturday Nov 16 Day 4
    • OTMM59 to Hwy A trail head OTMM70. Evaluation of physical ability- arrival time around 1-2 pm. We can stay at the Hwy A trail head and camp. Leaving Sunday morning for anyone that wants to hike up to Bell Mountain in the morning as a day hike and return before going home- or continue on up to Bell Mountain to camp for Saturday night. This would be an additional 6 miles for a total on Saturday of 17 miles*

    Sunday Nov 17 Day 5
    • Hike out down the way you came or finish the Bell Mountain loop 6 miles. Pile in and shuttle back to Berryman Campsite.

    *if you push on to the Big River on Day 3 you make Day 3, 16 miles, but reduce Day 4 to 15 miles
