<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV>Has anyone taken the Mack’s Inn alternate. I’m in Dubois getting
ready to head up through Yellowstone. Due to the fact that I’m pretty late
and the weather has been raining practically every day since I entered Colorado,
I’d like to save a few miles by taking the Mack’s Inn short cut when I get
there. I see there is a bushwhack up a stream for several miles before it
hooks back up to the “official” CDT. How tough is that bushwhack? Is
there any sign of a trail through there? Is it open going, or lots of brush,
trees, and willows to navigate around or through?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
