"Manky" single track trail blazing
watch died with about 2.65 miles to go. brings the total to 6.75 (at a minimum - i highly doubt the gps tracked the single track correctly).
ran to what rob called "the secret stash" which was composed of single track covered in growth, layered with roots and stumps, and shrouded with downed trees that acted like siphons we had to jump through, crawl under, hurdle... etc. "manky," as rob described it with his kayak lingo. so much fun too. we made brian climb all of this with us (rob, myself, and hunter) and he kicked ass. stayed with us the whole time. Hunter kept yelling "coureurs de bois" (runners of the woods), an old french term used to describe fur trappers in the northern united states and canada back whenever fur trappers were still relevant.
