there will be three or four, 90% of which won't make it to Canada. unless
you're a scott williamson... the people who start that late and make it are of
an entirely different breed.
actually i wonder if halfmile's list graphs the success rate as people start
later and later, to find a sweet spot for making it based on start date.

You won't find many thrus that late in the season.
Depending on weather 4 or 5 miles per litter is a good guideline. But know your
limits and be prepared for 20 to 25 miles between water sources.
Rattlers will be active; cougars less so. Bears no issue that far south
Hope this helps,
