Life of the Party
In short, my advise is DO IT!
Right now I am looking at Google maps. Looking at the blue lines between the North Fork Clearwater on highway 12.
I look at it the blue lines and say to myself "that looks cool I wanna do that" then I switch to Terrain view and think " Hell no" At the moment I am looking at a spot called " Indian Post office" along the Nez Perce Trail and there are two little ponds just down the hill not to far from the road, Terrain view straight down 700 feet. I bet there are a bunch of dumb cutthroat down in those ponds.
Maybe a through hike upstream from the Cayuse air strip up to the forest road 581? again nope I'd die climbing out.
Hell even the 4 hours of gravel roads don't sound fun anymore..
I really wish i could do those kinds of things now a days.. Only 52 but I know my limits.. So to the young guys.. If you have hairbrained ideas that look good to you, you don't need anyone's permission or approval.... GO do them!! Please! you'll regret it if you don't...
