A sign the Forest Service Service installed on a tree we drug across the tracks where people were driving around Gatekeeper(White Bark). The Forest Service requires us to keep people on the trail.

Your welcome.

We did 1 night at the trailhead,2 nights at Lakecamp Lake,1 at Ershim Lake,3 At Thompson Lake and 1 at Dusy Creek(North shore of Courtright Reservoir). Well,thats what I did. Two rigs came in 3 days behind me and others left 1 and 3 days before me. So I started in with 2 rigs and came out with 2 rigs,but they were different rigs.

We used the time to enjoy the trail. I've done the trail in 3 days and didn't enjoy it. It was get up,tear down camp and pack,load up the rigs and drive all day(sometimes wrench too),get to camp tired,hungry and dirty,unload rigs,set up,gather firewood,cook,eat and go to bed,get up the next day and repeat.

Well this time we didn't move every day and only one day was 11 miles. If you do it in 3 days,each day is 11 miles,plus driving to and from the trail beginning and end of trip.
