T'would be fun to have a THR backpacking trip, no?

Tentatively set to March or April of 2005. 13 mile hike one way. Who's interested?

:evil:

I am.
But, I need to have a solid date asap.

Then we can start a thread about uber cool state of the art gear to buy for the 13 mile trip. :D

Hmm, sounds fun- But I'm 14, overweight, and I don't know if I could keep up witch'all. I'd have to research the trail. It looks pretty fun, though- I love that type of terrain, it's my favorite area of the country.

Also, it would need to be during my spring break if it could even possibly work out for me.

So I'm probably out, but there's a tiny chance I could do it.

The above is a key example why:If you are a minor please do not ask if we are comfortable with you carrying a firearm without parental supervision. Common sense and the LAW mandates parental supervision. End of story.

And...? Guess you've got some training to do then, eh? I mean, that sounds like a challenge to me. (Repeat after me: "I'll show THEM!")

FWIW, I printed this picture of Victor Konovalov and put it on my fridge with the caption

So what's YOUR excuse?

I don't wanna hear it.
I am middle aged and overweight.
But, I just got back from the gym.
Working out isn't my problem, I work out almost every day. The 20,000 calories a day IS the problem. Yeah I'm a junk food junkie, Lord have pity on me. :D

[Skunkabilly]

I'm small and weak.

But by crackie I'm gonna set a goal and work my way up for this one!!

( can't do gyms...claustrophobic....heck I get dizzy being in enclosed crowded places I *LIKE* like book stores and the outdoorsey type stores)

Insertion/extraction method?

[Skunkabilly]

Probably by car, then backpack 13 miles.

There's a ferry that inserts you 1.5 miles from the destination but not sure how much time you spend there...I'll see about taking the next day's ferry back.

Why not by parachute :)

I've been to Rainbow Bridge, but that was by boat... are there even trails to hike there? I'm not aware of any.

I haven't been backpacking in a long while but have wanted to go for a long time, and I'd be doubly interested if it were a THR event. I would try to go if it happened.

But... are we sure there are trails? Or is it that we don't care? :scrutiny:

if my life is normal-ish then, I'd love to hit that stuff up.
