<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Road was closed. I had a long wait in 05
when the road was open. Few cars. But the second or third car picked
me up.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This last year , 07, a local headed the other
direction took us to town. Not a very long wait.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To get a ride back, check with the General Store
(or the outfitter in "down town" Trout Lake). They have numbers for people
who give rides. It is customary to pay a few dollars. One guy even
carries a trail register in his truck. They have lined me up for rides
twice.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As far as a place to stay, the outfitter is
building a hiker house of a sort and i think he said going to have internet
available.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Bill helped me solve a gear issue and wouldn't take
any money from me. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The General store has three rooms available in the
back. They also have a hiker box. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've spent a little time in Trout Lake. I'll
stay there again this year.</FONT></DIV>
