Paul, yeah I almost always have hiked alone since my first off trail solo hike when I was 12. Pushing mid-70s now, so I've been at it a while.


That's impressive! I, too, am 75 and my passion is bike riding. But you must have some stories to tell!

No sign of man down in this 'hole', but plenty of bears, elk, deer, and some really fresh cougar tracks.

The feeling of wild serenity was too nice for me, and wasn't really set up for overnight, but stayed here anyway, because it was very warm. I hunkered down in the trees you see on the right.

It got a bit cold at dawn, but had my small stove for oatmeal and coffee (2 cups, of course). It warmed up quickly on the long climb back to the barren ridgeline to retrieve my stashed gear I had hung off a tree limb.
