OK....so even though I've been back for 'bout 5 days, I'm still getting caught up (both at work and personal - here on the Page)....great trip report! It's fun "finding" old trails and seeing where they come from/go, eh? Makes it a little bit more of an adventure. Of course the knee-deep mud made it an "adventure" anyway, huh?
Good luck on all aspects of your next trip out!
