An amazing thread...one of the best I have read. I am almost 55...waiting to retire from 30 + years of teaching. I am 6'2 265lbs...I need to lose weight (especially before DIY elk hunt). I am a "driven" person as many moons ago I was a two time all american and national champion in track & field (college).  I did do a 11 mile hike in the Gila Wilderness with a 70lb pack this past summer.  It kicked my butt but I noticed it got a little easier each day...The rockie boots are they lowa's?  again thanks...I am pumped !

Our weather, well it rained, sleeted and/or snowed every day for 10 straight days.  One day it rained sleeted AND snowed on us five times in a matter of 10 hours.  IT takes mental fortitude to hunt the mountains, but IT'S WORTH IT!!!!
You slept in the tent the whole trip !!

Was just reading over this one again.  One of my favorites from a few years ago.  Thought I would bring it up for folks to read in the off season.  Some great stuff here.   Thanks again Gil!

Hey Rob, Terry and guys....this one definitely needs to go into the classics!!
