I could tell you a couple of horror stories... Like the time I walked from Cottonwood campground back to Oxbow on the Hoh in bootfoot neoprene waders in the dark... but I kinda like to forget I was ever that stupid. \:D

Nowadays it's either float with a buddy or use a turnaround service if one is available.

If I'd only known about Ted Miller back then...
