Arrgh! This trip was brutal! It was supposed to be a short, easy one. We had planned on 5 miles in and out for a total 10 mile round trip. The USGS map shows a road going all the way to the wilderness boundary but the Trails Illustrated map shows it several miles back. I called the Evanston Ranger Office to confirm which was correct. They told me the road went all the way to the wilderness boundary. Yeah... right. Apparently they had the USGS map. Beyond the map discrepancy adding 5 miles to the trip we also tried some new mosquito repellent. BAD IDEA! The new stuff has something called Picaridin in it instead of Deet. I've heard about the potentially negative effects of Deet and thought it might be a good alternative. Such a bad idea. Deet rules and NOTHING can compare. That Picaridin crap lasted about 20 minutes and then they were all over you again. Okay, enough bitching... on to the pictures...
