Forgive me, I meant no offense to anyone. I was frustrated at myself for turning what should have been a nice simple walk into a bushwhack through spider city. All the info given to me was spot on, I made the mistakes. I likely wouldn't have said anything but I usually go by the saying teachers said in school, "if you have a question, it is likely someone else has the same question so please ask it". So I tried to answer those questions.

Again, I sincerely apologize if anyone took my comments as blaming or ungrateful. The mistakes I made were all due to reading maps wrong, unfamiliar areas, and being over eager to get walking and therefore solely my fault and my responsibility.

Thank you to every one as I have seen several awesome birds in the short time I've been on this list that I likely wouldn't have seen otherwise. This community is awesome!
