| no partners | | Boulder Mail Trail - Death Hollow Part Deux - A 2009 return to look "death in the eye" once again. The difference betwixt this adventure and my first BMT - DH adventure back in 2003 was this was a true loop hike which began and ended in the town of Escalante. On this hike/backpack my hikin' peeps, Kathie, Rosie, and Ruthie, and I started at the western end of the BMT, duplicated the stretch of DH I did in 2003, and, unlike in 2003, we hiked UPSTREAM rather than down the Escalante River back to the town of Escalante. My thanks go out to my new hiking buddy from Italy, Tugnein (aka Fabio Tedesco) who I met on EveryTrail.com for the use of his GPX file of a BMT - DH trip he did recently which was virtually identical to the one I did in '09. Oh yeah, while I'm in the "thanking" mood, I need to give credit to Rosie and Ruthie, but definitely not Kathie, for some of the pictures I'm posting. My last statement is not a slam against Kathie, it's just a comment on her penchant for ultra-light backpacking. "Camera? You expect me to lug a camera? Hell it was a battle for me to even bring a toothbrush". |
