I just really appreciated your help back in April and your enthusiastic support and promotion of the CDTS route. I really liked being just out there without trail makers- like hiking wild- just what I wanted to do and what I enjoy. I can't imagine the "official" route being better. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>The stays in the pack broke through my pack- at least one did, and the other was almost ready to break out when I ended my hike in Reserve after hitching a ride from Snowy Lake.
