So according to your alls advice, here is what I am bringing

(1) Compass
(6) Gallons of vodka

Think I got everything covered lol.

I will post some pictures of the waterfalls Sunday.  Think there are several 75+ feet tall falls along the trail.

Go to the surplus and get some of those freeze dried foods. Dont go hiking with a pack full of canned foods. Only morons do that!

Dont get lost and have fun.
