Sounds like you may be headed into some rain so try to stay dry, don't hurry so much you don't enjoy the trip. you take such fantastic pictures be sure to do so, can't wait to see your report when you get back. Travel safe. FRED Oh yeah like Ben said tie up that canoe every time, those darn solos seem to have wanderlust built in to them.

The weather is always a roll of the dice but having most of a trip dealing with bad conditions can wear on a person. Unless you're BeaV of course. :)

Have a great trip.
It's ok to talk to the chipmunks, yourself, no one or someone far away.
Be sure to take the time to eat enough and drink enough water-remind yourself and or force yourself.
Take time to reflect on whatever, life, wife, family, friends, work, world peace, the beauty that surrounds you-there are far to few opportunities in life to be one with only your thoughts. Take advantage of that.
Most of all relax and have a great time.

Maybe bring a couple extra sheets of TP in case your wind bound a couple days.
Tie your canoe at night.
Don't get lost going to the John at night.

I'm all about a variation in weather...but yuck!!!
And that's another thing about extended shoulder season trips...you have to prepare for those extremes...and pack more than you usually would.

He's moving around most every day. He was on Gabi and got to Crooked just south of Gillis. He's covered some ground considering.

It looks like I can send him a message. So gave him a heads up for another chilly night Tuesday but improving after that.
He spent Monday night at South Temperance.
I woke up to snow at my place. So I wonder what it's like there.

Sure hope he brought plenty of warm clothes to wear, that guy doesn't have the extra body insulation many of us are blessed with. I have to admit I have thought about him almost daily since this weather has turn a lot less than pleasant. NOTE to Mrs Housty9 he's a tough smart guy and he's doing well. FRED

I've been wondering how it's all going for him. It will be interesting to get his view of everything after he gets out.

Mark seems to have picked up his game as the trip progress's. He was on rib lake last night and already on the move today. He stayed at a site I was heading for once and I gave it up to a guy and his grandson as they were struggling. I ended up on Karl. It would be nice to have a weather radio right now as Mark is likely going to encounter thunderstorms that will go through tomorrow. Time to huncker down Mark!

Is he sending you updares from a delorme or hos garmin gps? Just curius how you are tracking him. I guess the SPOT has yhat functionality as well.

Been thinking about him as I look at the forecast. He has really had some lousy weather. You kind of expect it this time of year but you also get some incredibly nice days. That hasn't happened in the last week and next weeks forecast is a bit better but not great.
|
boonie

I wonder how he's doing - any update . . .?

Besides just being miserable, miserable weather can play havoc with travel plans.

He's on the campsite on that leg out of Alice going toward Thomas. I visited that site. I liked it a lot.
