questions:
1. where will we find water? or am i dreaming…
2. has this part of the wilderness been burned this year?
3. none of the trails i noted seem to be closed, am i wrong?
4. how would you change my path, and why?
5. what sites can i not afford to miss?
6. which sites are hype and can be skipped?
7. are there any particularly great plans to spend the night?
8. any large animal warnings worth noting and preparing for?
I'm clearly asking for a lot, but only because I know yawl know a lot. Please share your wisdom!
