[QUOTE="RockChucker30, post: 3780325, member: 11855"] [b]Departure Day:[/b] This year I rented a car for the drive out. I started out Thursday Sept 18 at about 6:30 pm. The drive is around 1500 miles each way, and takes 22-23 hrs. I rented a Ford Fusion with unlimited mileage for what I thought was a very reasonable price. I said goodbyes, checked the gear list 100 times (obsessively), and headed out. I drove until 11:30 or so and slept in the car at a rest stop somewhere in Illinois. Day 1: The alarm woke me at 4, 4:30, 5, 5:30. I finally got up - exhausted. Guzzle some coffee and drive. Ford Fusions are nice, but not for a 6' 3" guy trying to sleep. Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, then SW Colorado. I arrived at my destination around 1 am. Day 2: Breakfast, some talk, gear packing. Around noon Kevin and I head to the trailhead. I'm going to the area I hunted and explored two years ago. The plan is for me to hunt and for Kevin to scout for rifle season and to give his pack goats a good workout.

The gain is hard on me, always. Even after I acclimate a bit gain is hard and slow. It's hard on the goats too.....I don't feel so bad. I'm carrying more weight, and they live at 7500.
