Thank you! I was looking at starting there or seaton creek campground but it looks like starting at the red bridge will save the best views for last. I've done it both ways and I think it depends on how much you want to hike on day 1 vs day 2 (I've always done the hike with one overnight.) The best campsites (IMO) are on the MRT side and closer to the Red Bridge, so if you start there and do the NCT side first, you need a pretty big day 1 to get to them. Some people will do two nights out, with a short first day a few miles in and a dry camp on the the NCT. That makes getting to the western MRT sites nice and easy for the next night. What I've wanted to do for a long time is to stash a kayak at the dam, hike the MRT from the Red Bridge, then paddle back. It means I can't take my dog though, which is why I haven't gotten around to it. I live in Ann Arbor, btw. Not really allowed to talk to Spartans... check out a company called Packraft America. You can rent one from them (they ship it) and do this trip. I hope to do it someday.

There was a test?
Your avatar was off kilter and cockamamey. Yeah, that's a word. You did good on the bacon portion of the quiz. You lucked out on okra. You weren't too terribly offended by tigger's avatar (though you should be). I got paid in liquor. You're not a nekkid yoga dude. RanD reported your thread. You broke rules. The [lenient] ninja librarian let you pass.

ETA and FYI - yeah, there's a magazine.

You'll have to answer to @eyebp. Good luck with that.
You might want to bone up on cardinals, muscadine wine, and fishing.

It's basically a "welcome to the forums" ritual for him.
