Huzzah! We have successfully returned from four harrowing and fantastic days in the Chisos Mountains. Adventures sprung forth from behind every rock and bush.

A full story will be posted soon but for now, a quick backpacking quiz:

Q: How much water do you need?

—- A: More than you have! Especially if your hydration system separates in two on the first day!

Q: How close can you get to 2000′ drop without realizing it?

—- A: About 3 inches!

Q: Which animal is the most dangerous: Packs of Vicious and Bloodthirsty Mule Deer, Desert Fox(en), El Stupidos, Hungry Hungry Javelinas, or Big Black Bears?
