Ancesters guide your tracks forward, friend.
Safe journey and magic memories made,
Killdeer   :campfire:
Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

Good luck to all Colorado-bound! I'll be following suit on 9/6.
Looking forward to the post hunt debriefings of all parties, especially the first timers. Godspeed.

55#'s....not to bad, just pace your self, you won't be in Rockwood. At 7-9 thousand feet things are a lot different! We camped at 9,000 and had no issues but did not back pack in......Just have fun and enjoy the high places.

Walk in beauty brother and suck it all in. Take time out to reflect on a high point. Keep your eyes on point and watch yur top knot.
