Thank you as well my friend . I believe the modern volunteer services deserve much more credit . Basically back then you had two choices ... Become Canoodian or report to the draft board .
One thing once we did our tour there was none of this " Hey I see you made it ... now time for another tour ."
I point out my background mainly to show that even tho I am a total newbie to hanging I won't embarass you guys in the woods ( at least I hope not )
Real easy hike RiverJoe, flat smallish hike to the hill,,hill with 6 or so switch backs, and maybe elevation of 300' and then flat walk thru valley to the left turn into another valley,,,might get feet wet if the creek has lots of water in it,,however,,if you go about 75 ft either way, you should be able to find a crossing without getting wet if its up. Going back out,,you have the 6 or so switch backs but you can stop as much as you need to going out. I smoke and never stopped going out and averaged about 2.6 mph but the hill will get to you a bit on the breathing and I am same age as you with same background as Viet Vet myself. Hope to see you there.
How about a female newbie from Nebraska? Is it okay it I give it a try?
