morning started out horrible... alarm clock didn't go off, bladder leaked grape Gatorade in my fridge and my pack, and car battery was completely dead.

great hike, but my knee was in excruciating pain only 5 miles into the excursion so i held the other guys back a bit.

the town of Gisela should be called 'city of fences'. i spent the better part of the day hiking through town, over random mountains, through swamp areas, along forest service roads looking for any sort of path to the narrows. i either found large animals or fencing... they literally fenced the entire town in. the only thing that prevented me from going further was the lack of water. they don't even have a store in town to buy any! now there is access along the north but it's really not worth walking all the way over some of those hills to try and access Houston Creek. the service roads go pretty far but you need a high clearance vehicle when you hit the wash... in the wet you would definitely need 4x4. next time i go, i'm going to just suck it up and hike in from rye creek road to the south... makes it a bit longer but a heck of a lot more fence friendly.

it's just too bad people indiscriminately trashed the ranch and the area up there for so many years... really did ruin it for the rest of us.

lesson learned... basically just read what rljamy wrote... drive up.

lost two toenails, the entire underside of every toe was blistered, and my legs were completely covered in bites.

hope the rest of you guys made it out in one piece!
