Sweetas Gravel911, I'm sure theres some of us who'll be back for more punishment sometime

If its too bad we could always do canons creek (sp?) after wires. Good rain cover there

The loop is ok but the gut buster is were it gets interesting there are about 5-7 rivers to cross and if they are up

because there isn’t no other way to go, it just depends on your ability and fitness more than anything.

Everyone needs to see what they are like after doing the loop.
