Drive from home is 1 hour - I forgot it 2 times in a row
Started at the trail head at 8:00am - when it was very cold. all 10 digit (finger) tips were in pain
Forgot food. Picked up tender pine needle - rich in Vitamin C. Relieved my cold in winter!!
Returned at the HQ at 11:45am
Went through washed out trail...
There is checkin/checkout slip available - where you can give emergency contact info. I wrote down my exact plan of trail.
