Description: I just finished hiking 9 miles to Huckleberry Lookout — the most excruciating experience of my life. All bones and muscles in my body ache. Lesson learned; Realize how far 9 vertical km’s is, bring more water, bring food, and pack WAY less gear. I managed to get to the top of the mountain with four cameras — 5D Mark II, 7D, HVX 200, and D80 — along with two tripods. I am currently sitting in Rawhide restaurant and am about to head back to my campsite to try sleep off my aching muscles.
