I am impressed! I've been watching a bunch of Youtube videos on the various BDR's. Looks like fun but I'm afraid I'm a bit past my prime for doing such things. I would have to bypass most of the technical sections and I'm just way too inclined to a nice bed at night to camp. But I sure like the idea of doing one, or at least parts of one.
The Idaho BDR (Backcountry Discovery Route) is rated the second easiest of the 11. The only other one I may try is the Mid Atlantic. The Idaho one pushed me to my limits. 1400 miles. Very fun though, and incredibly beautiful. There are lodges along the way, if you don’t want to haul camping gear. It’s just a lot more fun on two wheels!
9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep. RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these. I think that's about all I should put in my little pond. Otter attack in 2023
