I did take time out every 15 min to take some video and photos. During the first 45 min when I went to take a little video I noticed my camera was gone, yea missing in action is the word. So I had to track back 15 min on the trail and find it and I did laying lens down in a small spring where it bounced out of my back shirt pocket.

Everything seemed to be ok so I wiped it off and got going, this caused me to loose 30 min so I had to push it a bit to keep it going. I had a light in my pack so I wasn’t to worried about the time. This is a tough ride to do but worth it in the long run!

Check out the video and for more videos look at my Video Blog.

Tends to be a bit cooler at night also, it got down to about 55 the first night but I was up there after 1:00 am. You seem to forget about the cold fast after the first 6 min of pounding the trail with your feet. Sam my German Shepard went with me both times and she is doing better on her trail killing problem.

you tend to see all kinds of crazy stuff at night, your eyes play tricks on you with the shadows. At one point we are coming down through a big wide open meadow and Sam gets all worked up over something big moving on our right. I could see it’s eyes glowing orange and they were about 12 feet off the ground, had to be a moose looking us over. Gets pretty darn spooky at times but I think that is part of the fun!
