Some more updates to our web site.

  • Actual Itinerary (https://donsnotes.com/ctl/introtobackpacking/itinerary2.html) with maps, links to information on petroglyphs and old highway, topo map of trails.
    Note the trail profiles are different with the actual gps route than the estimates I showed you before from tracing trails on the map. I also reduced the vertical scale to 1.5 x the horizontal so they look flatter, but the gross gains were about the same.
  • Journal broken out by day.
  • Blisters seemed to be our main health issue, so I looked thru some books and the internet and created some blister management tips at (https://donsnotes.com/health/blisters.html)
I also wrote up a narrative with lessons learned from the July 4th adventure my son and I had at https://donsnotes.com/recreation/tallac-2010.html
