Hi HST!
You have helped me plan my first every trip, my first multi-day trip, and now I have backpacked a couple of hundred miles! Thank you for all of your help!
I wanted to ask your advice/opinion on a couple of options for this coming week. I am planning to leave 8/1/19 , sleeping at the trailhead (See below) and doing a 3 day 2 night adventure. I wanted to ask a few questions but prefacing with I want to do about 12-17 mile days each day but not for no reason if there is to good of an area to camp in. But I am having a hard time with conditions in some areas.
Do you know the conditions of Seven Gables right now? My three ideas area:
Note: BW is 8.35lb + TPW /w Water 19 1/4 LB.
Idea 1:
-Day 1: Go from Edison to Vee Lake / Bear Lakes - 15 Miles (Taking Ferry)
-Day 2: Up and over Seven Gables to check out Three Island Lake and camp at Marie Lakes 9.5ish Miles
-Day 3: Hike back to Edison - 16.5ish miles (Taking Ferry)
Idea 2:
-Day 1: Go from Florence to Marie Lakes -12 Miles (Taking Ferry)
-Day 2: Up and over Seven Gables to Vee Lake Bear Lakes - 12ish miles
-Day 3: Hike back to Florence - 16.5ish miles (Taking Ferry)
Idea 3:
-Day 1: Go from Florence to Marie Lakes -12 Miles (Taking Ferry)
-Day 2: Go around Seven Gables (if not passable) to Vee Lake / Bear Lakes - 10-12ish miles
-Day 3: Hike back to Florence - 16.5ish miles (Taking Ferry)
If you have any ideas or suggestions please let me know!
