@@markadlardstonepipeadventu2589 Guys like that are always in a hurry! Hopefully you didn’t let him drive?

Yep, that would be hiker bear.

Here are a couple of links that should help you out. You can also find info at All Trails, Hiking project.com and gaiagps.com under Big Piney Trail. The two links below offer printable maps. Thanks for watching! www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/mtnf/recreation/recarea/?recid=74385 www.ouachitamaps.com/Paddy%20Creek.html

Thank you Lori

Thank you so much! It's a bit of a challenge due to our internet is horrible where we live, so this means that I have to run over to my sons place to do the downloads. I am now retired so this should hopefully give me more time to get out and put together more videos. Count me as one of your subscribers! Looking forward to watching your videos. Especially since my Grandparents immigrated here to the United States in 1921 from Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire, England.

@@markadlardstonepipeadventu2589 Thank you!

Thank you! yeah, she was looking good. A lot different than 5 years ago when I went through there while hiking the JMT when it was raining and spitting pea size hail, even then she was a beauty. Good luck and look forward to seeing your trip. Hiked on!

Thank you. Thanks for watching!

Thank you and thanks for watching. This area is awesome! 8 years ago I had the opportunity to spend 5 days and 5 nights canoeing 100 miles on the river. The Buffalo National River is America's first national river established in 1972.

Yeah, we had our eyes on the look out. I didn't see this one until I walked passed it and startled it.

I totally agree, more time is better But unfortunately my work schedule did not permit that. You take what you get and make the best of it. Definitely not a waste of time.

Thank you! and thanks for watching.

It is remote, thats for sure. its a beautiful area to hike, backpack and canoe the 11 point.

Tyler, I would be glad to help! I'm actually out right now hiking and training for a backpacking trip on the North Lake South Lake loop this summer. when I get back home this evening, I will run through the procedures.

All permits are issued through Recreation.gov. First thing you would need to do is create an account and complete ALL of the personal information, this will allow you to move thru the permit process quicker because the permit sequence is timed. 15 minutes for the permit portion and once that is complete, they give you another 15 minutes for the billing portion. If you want to do the Rae Lakes Loop trail, you have two entry points to reach the trail. One is via Kearsarge pass and that entry point is in the Inyo National forest Forest, so when you go to Recreation.gov you will need to go to permits and then search for Inyo National Forest Wilderness permits. Once there you click on explore available permits. Now on this page you have 3 questions to fill before the availability of permits is shown. (overnight trip, date of trip and how many in your group) once that is filled out then a screen pops up showing all entry points and whats available. They only allow so many hikers per day at each entry point. kearsarge pass allows 32. They also set aside a few for walk-ins. You can reserve a permit 6 months in advance of you trip. (highly recommend during the peak season!) They go fast!!! When you fill out the permit section they will have you fill in reservation type, entry point, entry date, entry location,exit date, exit point , where you want to pic up the permit and an itinerary. (basically where you will be camping) My advise is to have all this written down. Remember you have only 15 minutes. - The other entry point is Cedar Grove in the Sequoia/kings Canyon National park. Go to Recreation.gov and search for Seq/Kings canyon NP, Steps and procedures are the same. Its sounds like a lot, but once you do a few it isn't so bad. My email is: madlard69@gmail.com if you have any questions please feel free to get in touch.

@@markadlardstonepipeadventu2589 thank you for that detailed explanation. Sure is helpful

@@mhaskins3769 👍

I might go after the season in October so I can just walk up and fill out my self permit?

Yes, here is a web site that has information that should be helpful. www.missouritrouthunter.com/eleven-point-river.html

Thanks for watching. The High Sierra's are a must see. I hope you can make it happen.

Hey! Thanks for watching. Yeah, we hiked it the weekend before you. I'm very glad that we located a spot to camp before it got dark. I could not believe how much poison ivy there was! It looked like the south portion of the trail had more use than the North portion. I do know the trail would be really hard to follow in the fall when the leaves are on the ground. Compass and map reading skills would definitely be required.
