I was in Denver for business before Memorial weekend, and (since my wife and daughter were going to be out of town) I decided to stay in Colorado through the weekend and head to the mountains to hike and scout the area we'll be hunting in September.
I pushed a little too hard during the day Saturday (hiked over 7 miles), allowed myself get a little dehydrated and ended up with altitude sickness (most notably vomiting and feeling very lethargic) Saturday evening and again several times on my 5+ mile hike out on Sunday.
I learned a lot about my gear and about my(current)self on this trip that will help me better prepare for September. My lethargy and illness prevented me from filming as much as I wanted, but I did put together a little video about a few of the things I learned on the trip.
Oh, and I did see elk!
