For me, it's a tossup between the Manitou and Blesner Creek. Edge and I were at Blesner last spring. There's a nursury tree that lays across the creek, which feeds into the Baptism. I had my Hennessey strung up between two branches of that tree. 

Ferguson Creek site on the new section between Rossini Road and the Lake county demo forest. That stretch isn't much to look at. A lot of clear cut on that stretch. It's gonna be a great stretch for berry picking when they're in season. 

I've got a trip planned for the last week of Sept. I'm going to attempt an 80 miler from the Finland Rec Center to Cascade River. If I gotta, I'm doing it solo.

I like the part by Two Harbors that always smells like weed.

I love section 13! It's a little intimidating to watch climbers up there though. I was there last year on a fairly windy day and two guys were on the ropes over the side. Winds were hitting 30mph easy. That whole stretch below Manitou is special.

Anyone taken on the drainpipe just south of Tet?

"That way the next time you go there for some piece and quiet and solitude you can spend quality time with all the new strangers that will be hanging out at your (former) favorite spot."

If you have really bad luck, or are there constantly due to abundant free time I guess. I might happen to make it to my favorite spots once every two weeks at the most. What are the chances?

Bill was referring to getting some along the trail, not peace.
