A friend and I did a before the season backpack trip for scouting. Spent a couple of days checking out a large, wide drainage which looked very promising. We both had to work and started the long hike in before sunrise on opening morning.

Well after sunrise, we finally got to the top of the saddle overlooking our secluded valley…..using our binoculars the scene before us must have resembled what Reno saw at the Little Bighorn!🤬 There were spike camps throughout our “secluded” valley as far as we could see!

We made a U-Turn at the top of the saddle, marking it up as a bad experience! ☹️🤬 memtb
