    Hi.  I lurk over here every once in a while, but figured I contribute somethin'.  Here's a link over to the Trailer Trash where I hang out.

      Great reading, thanks for sharing! I had to log in to reply at the other forum, so I'll do it here instead. I found your comments about the animal and breathing noises funny. I was out there by myself at night at one point and I heard a huge crashing next to me and I about fell over. It ended up just being a cow, but my mind immediately went to bear and I almost pooped myself for a second there lol.

       

      Congrats on finishing! It was a tough race, right up there with the toughest things I have ever done. I'm sure we must have crossed paths at some point during the race.

        Thanks n00ky, yeah I saw the black cows in the dark hiding in the tall reed/bamboo-type stuff at the top of a climb. It was after the breathing incident.  The cows were mooing as I was approaching so I had some warning.
