    Hunting Lodge to Webster TH with stop at Cito 729/24
    Beautiful scenery, easy hike but could be made more difficult with time/pace. Reservoir has good fishing. Lots of wildflowers.

    Day 1 Ponil Trailhead to Dean Cutoff
    Good hike. Short day. Stopped in Ponil for lassoing, branding, lunch and Root Beer. Nearly busted my ass on the wooden bridge going across the creek. Camping at Dean Cutoff.
