Did Big Bend Backcountry alone this time.
We went Dodson and Blue Creek combo with a one-night camp starting at 6:00 AM. Wind on ridges was steady but never pushed us off pace. Tread was dry and clear with a few loose rock corners.
Preparation is everything.
Quick notes:
- Mark key waypoints.
- Move over for faster hikers.
- Share beta when asked.
