[QUOTE="SMS, post: 1328345, member: 42"] Check out the Charon's Garden Wilderness area down in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge...remote enough to get away from the masses (only 10 people are allowed to overnight in the backcountry area at a time) yet close enough to civilization to test out your gear and 'get your hiking legs'. Tips? Get a good topo (even though Charon's Garden is probably small enough to use dead reckoning and visual navigation), but don't trust the 'blue lines' for water sources...nearly every blue line in Charon's Garden was empty. Bring a filter AND purifying solution to refill off puddles and pools [/QUOTE]
