Voof, that’s really gonna put a crimp in my plans next winter.
I’m planning to camp at Robber’s Roost and ride the Glenn Springs Loop on my singlespeed mountain bike. Again.
All that stuff is in a place called the Big Bend. Brewster County, TX. Very remote, very hostile, very quiet at night and the most beautiful skies I ever saw except up north of Gothic, CO, one night. On another lone roam.
No one is stopping you, Chuck.
I back-backed solo for two weeks west of the Grand Tetons - two months before turning 16. And 1200 miles from home. I’m not sure who was more nuts - me or my parents for letting me!
In college I was always backbacking or hunting by myself - winter too.
At 19 I spent three weeks solo in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area.
Those were the days! It was when I was with buddies when things got dangerous. “Hey, hold muh beer....”
