    • @AudreyAdventures
      @AudreyAdventures 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

      There were plenty of campsites in the area in much better shape than this one. What I would expect is for rangers to shut a campsite down if a site is in this bad of shape. Or give people a heads up, since you have to have a reserved campsite rather than just playing by ear where you're going to stay, and offer for them to switch if there is a better option available.

    Starts off relatively flat, then gradually starts moving up hill, then steps, then a bridge, a beautiful waterfall, then a steep hike, a steep hike up, a steep hike up, the trail turns into a stream for a mile that is a steep hike up, then another steep hike up, and then it gets hard.

We had some “rules” that were fun. We were there for the booze and the fun. We even had a game where a woman would try to look under our kilt. We where athletes and children were around so we wore underwear thank you. But it was funny when the unfortunate woman looked under our kilt and needed to produce a blue ribbon to us….dont ask why I will get banned. We are like you and have fun. Except my kit costs a life and we drink more than you and like to throw large objects. Bet in your social group no elf looks up your skirt. And yes I’m playing. Got a blue ribbon?

    Back in the day I climbed the Grand Teton a couple of times. It was so much different then. It was super easy to get a permit. You would just show up and they gave them to you. I have been to Vancouver Island and its beautiful. Not only grizzlies but no shortage of mountain lions too. It's funny back in the day we never even thought about bears and there was no such thing as bear cans. I guess I am lucky to be alive. Napal sounds amazing. I just got back from Greece, and it took me about five days to get over the jet lag and for my sleep to go back to normal. My wife had her knee replaced last week so my backpacking plans have gone on hold. I was supposed to do the Colorado Trail this year but that may have to wait. I will hit some of the AT as soon as possible. Vermont up to the Whites. Question what time does weather generally shuts the CT down because of snow? I was hoping to hike it in September to reduce my chances of thunderstorms, bugs and people. Take care and it looks like you have a great hiking season ahead. Take care

    • @AudreyAdventures
      @AudreyAdventures 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I generally don't worry too much about the animals, but grizzlies are something I just haven't been around too much and of course they do have the ability to cause some damage! I've talked to some people who are from grizzly country and of course they say don't worry too much about it - it's normal for them - but just an animal I will have to get used to being around in the wilderness haha. But for sure gonna bring some bear spray and take precautions. I listened to this podcast episode about the "night of the grizzlies" a couple years ago about two separate deadly grizzly bear attacks in Glacier National Park a few decades ago which was terrifying but there seemed to be a lot of bad behavior in the park leading to the attacks back then. Ahhh that is a bummer about the backpacking plans being on hold but hope your wife heals quickly! Usually the CT is good through September but of course we can always get a big snowstorm in Colorado in September. I think it was last year that the southbound CDTers were having a hell of a time getting through Colorado in September because of the snow, but that's not necessarily the norm. I would just pay attention to the weather forecast while in towns and try to be finished by October 1. Generally speaking I think September would be a nice time to hike the CT. The mountains get super pretty and I bet there are fewer people on the trails.

    You Go Girl! Thanks for sharing your hiking plans. I've learned so much from you. Good that you're not solo hiking in Grizzly country. I can't wait to watch your beautiful adventures. * First BP'ing trip in two weeks, Gourd and Island Lakes IPW. We've already done Mirror and Crater Lakes twice. About every two weeks from this we have a backpacking trip. They are all 3 days. Google earth is great to create some routes but you just never know until you're there. Hopefully we can do a longer through hike next year. Thinking of the Sawtooth Loop and or North Lake-South Lake Loop. Lake Isabelle look Beautiful!!!!

      Sounds like you've got a pretty amazing summer lined up! The Sawtooth Loop is on my list too but seems like it gets usurped by something else every year haha. I'll get there eventually!

    Congrats on your milestone and new car. Make sure that it has all of its maintenance done. A lot of shops charge for the oil and filter changes but don't actually do them. Happy Trails. Good Luck, Rick

    After spending the last decade or so raising my wonderfully amazing kids, I’m ready to get back into nature full time. Starting the CT in a few days. Gonna travel full time and live out of my pack for a few years. So excited!! Planning the Annapurna Circuit in 2025 on a shoulder season.

    Thanks for that update. Agree, I feel the trail is safe, the majority of the time. That being said- your advice of trusting instincts is spot on. I will be carry bear spray during my next LASH as I had too many weird encounters last go round. Also hiked with some women who carried bear spray…not really for bears. She convinced me.

    • @AudreyAdventures
      @AudreyAdventures 21 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Ah that is frustrating to hear you've been having some weird encounters! I've definitely had a few. I generally carry pepper spray with me on solo hikes. I'll be getting some bear spray for grizzly country this summer though, so that may be my new go-to.

    Thanks for the update. Most people on the trail are wonderful, this man was pure evil. I have two daughters and one of them likes to hike a lot. I have her carry mace and bear spray and not for bears. I would suggest being very careful at road crossing, parking lots and any camping locations within a short walk of a road. Last summer the Green Mountain Club closed one of their shelters on Pico Mountain because of a man named Salt. He is an older but very large man who was harassing hikers, especially women. He made the shelter his home and he would take the free but into Rutland. Sadly, the club received no help with Salt so the boarded up the shelter. If you look in the Far-Out app in 2022 you will see many comments about this man. I feel bad for these two women, their friends and family. RIP

    • @AudreyAdventures
      @AudreyAdventures 23 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes I'm the same - I carry pepper spray, but not really for the animals. Though that will change when I am carrying bear spray in grizzly country this summer. :) I agree - the most dangerous areas to camp in my mind are near roads and near towns. On the AT, I HATED camping right near roads - it would always freak me out. I hate hearing that about the shelter in Vermont. It's frustrating when law enforcement won't do anything about it (like the guy who ended up murdering someone back in 2019). Unfortunately there are bad people everywhere, but luckily the trail community is awesome for the most part.

    I had heard about this but wasn’t too familiar. Thanks for talking about it and I’m glad that they eventually caught the guilty person. I am always interested in true crime and I agree, generally speaking the trail is a safe place. Sadly there are crazy people all over. They just caught the killer of the lady murdered on a Maryland trail 😢. Happy trails.🤘🏻🥾⛰️

      I would guess the 15L liner would be too large for the 10.65L Ursack, but haven’t tried it so unsure!
