Observations about Backpacking in the Galiuros

1. Nobody really walks to Powers Cabin from the south side. 2. Decay is everywhere. Because it's not Disneyland, where someone sweeps up all trash. 3. Spiders work quickly. 4. If you're going to carry a bear bell, use it. 5. Three knives is too many. 6. Just when you think you can't go further, that's when it (hopefully) kicks in. 7. It's a blessing to hike near fresh water. 8. When you're hiking up a canyon, it's pretty hard to get lost. 9. Sometimes you really can get 4 hours away from the nearest human being, 10. It's a beautiful thing to go 4 days without hearing any electric noise.
