I did the route listed on your page the first time I went out. It was awful and amazing and life changingly hard. Went back every available opportunity until summer was over and I couldn't make the 2 hour drive. I got giardiasis from the water at the ranger station at Hwy 2 and W Cowpen - my own fault since my expected 6.5 hour ride ended up taking 9 hours. I wouldn't have know about the area without seeing it on your page, thanks again.
