Well, I\'m back from a great trip into the Bridger Wilderness in western WY ... not really a scouting trip (I\'m not sure I\'d want to be that far back in the woods and need to get an elk out), but more of a camping and \"September preparation\" trip. Here\'s a photo at the trailhead ... think there\'s enough gear to test on those guys?
Kind of embarrassing, actually, since we camped on the CDT (Continental Divide Trail) and saw quite a few ultra-lighters walking by. Using horses to carry things is like getting a big garage ... pretty soon, you\'re thinking \"Oh, why not?\" and adding all kinds of stuff that you \"might\" need ... you know, \"just in case.\" Meanwhile, some 20-something is walking his way to Canada from Mexico with about 20 pounds on his back.
Oh, well, it was nice to take chairs and some wine ... made the evenings more enjoyable.
