We hiked 2,100 miles in all, missing out the Battle Pass WY to Frisco CO section which we did in 2004. <br><br>We hit some blizzard conditions in the Great Basin which spiced things up for us and kept it interesting to the end. Its getting cold out there!<br><br>We want to say thank you to all who have helped us this summer and helped make our trip a truly great experience. We are going to take 2 weeks 'holiday' before we fly back to scotland and rent a car and become normal tourists. Maybe visiting Moab Utah for some canyons, arches, sightseeing and mtb-ing..<br><br>I hope to update the forum in the next few weeks on our variant from Butte to Yellowstone (Big Sky variant) and have lots of general
updates for Jonathans excellent maps.<br><br>Hello to all the hikers and helpers we met this year and keep in touch. If anyone is interested in visiting Scotland/UK and savouring our outdoor delights then get back to me. We want to return some favours!<br><br>brian <br><span><a target="_blank" href="http://www.aweewalk.blogspot.com">www.aweewalk.blogspot.com</a></span><br><br></div><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><font face="Tahoma" size="2">----- Forwarded Message ----<br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">From:</span></b> Dylan Carlson <carlsods@gmail.com><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> cdt-l@backcountry.net<br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Friday, 25 September, 2009 11:30:12<br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> [Cdt-l] Northbounders
