Excellent. Bare bones awesome. Lessons learnt: -Wash & rinse (with vinegar) brand new* water bladder before first use. -Adirondack mountains, are not like the Gatineau hills (in comparison... trail, scale & kick ass factor) - Always taste try energy bars at home before taking them on a hike... Accomplished adventurer, Greg Boyle, was Team Lead for the mission. (thumbs up!!)
