Thanks for the heads up on that one, dino. I'll make sure to remember that when I manage to get some time off from work and do some camping there.The dumbest thing I ever did was forgetting that you can't buy booze in Indiana on Sunday.
1. Going solo backpacking in the Catskill Mountains in Feb. and bringing my daughter's 30 degree sleeping bag instead of my 0 degree bag. They were the same color, so I just peeked inside and assumed it was my bag.
Got down to 8 below during the night. Not only was the bag not warm enough, I couldn't fit inside so had to use it as a blanket. It was a cccccold night.
Wow...!! That WAS a bad experience, but when we learn the hard way, we tend to stay learned, right?
And, yes, I know about cold weather...!! Certainly didn't envy you on that campout...!!
May you always stay warm on your treks.
Life is a collection of experiences and sometimes the bad decisions make the greatest experiences. My wife and I took many beautiful hikes this year, but probably the most memorable was last Sunday when we misjudged sunsett and encountered very wet trail. Our slogging several miles through ice cold, knee deep water in the dark will probably be a story we'll tell years after we've forgotten the lovely hikes on the beautiful days.One thing about it, bad decisions sure make good stories.

Actually, that's not a bad idea at all Dino! you need to contact a few writers and try to sell your idea. It would make a great movie. Now that I think of it...it reminds me of the movie Apacolypto.New movie: Far Away From Home Alone.
