Solo Birthday Backpack is back! (I did the Loowit last year.)
I have from 4pm Thur- 5pm Mon to complete the Timberline Trail.
I have all of the gear, stamina, and hours of researched reports, maps, and a two-way satellite texting device. (I'm ready for the bugs!)
I will not do dangerous river crossings alone. I looked up the approximate mileages and places to camp. I've done small sections of it before.
I'm debating the direction to take. I like the argument for counter-clockwise to get the big sandy slope out of the way early.
I'm thinking I will do 4-6 miles from the Lodge Thursday afternoon and start the harder stuff fresh Friday morning.
I'm not sure how much it matters though.
I guarantee I'm overthinking it.
Thoughts from those of you who have done it?
THANK YOU!!!
Some days are diamonds, some days are stones.
