It was a hike…..that will live……in infamy!! What we thought was going to be a 13 mile in and out, turned into a, 22mi trek from H-E-Double hockey sticks!
We think the mix up came from when we came to the trail we were SUPPOSED TO FOLLOW, left, was safety taped off with that yellow police tape. We looked at the map and decided it would add maybe a mile and a half……..boy were we wrong. But as I try to do with any mistake, try to make the best out of it, and try to learn from it.
Lessons learned:
1. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS have 10 essentials +water.
2. Sawyer water filter is a MUST!
3. Stay with whoever drove you there!
So many people got separated from their rides and because it took some people almost to nightfall to finish, people were waiting at cars, got hungry and impatient, went looking for food. Meanwhile the rest of the crew came down and were then left to wait for the first finishers to get back from eating…..which didn’t go over too well with the late finishers.
But…….we made it……and No one left behind!
