Personal Reactions

Thanks to all those who work so hard to maintain such a world class hike!

Wildlife

Avoid the Ides of March flies around Pemberton - Northcliffe -they were atrocious! Also the snakes in southern portion of the never ceased to startle me of out of my hiking stupor at times.

Your Worst Equipment

Solar panel - get a power bank instead!
