did not see him but met ed speer and bought his book. made the drive there worthit for me.
did the bucktail path(nicely graded with good switchbacks) and the donut hole(mostly strait ups and downs) without meeting a single hiker. many good trails up above loch haven for solitude.

nice review, thanx hamsta!
