Indy, First thing you do when you get there, Walk up to your guide, look him right in the eye and tell him your Hardcore and if they want to be "skooled" Yooper style then follow me . Then report back.
(It's getting a little slow around here.)
Now....In reality, tell your guide, Please don't torture me to bad, I am here all week.
First ten trips out west learn all you can each day out from your guide. Last year Nathan had me going places I never dreamed of and would never try without a guide there explaining how to tackle it. LEARN.
