Thanks Glenn,

That is pretty much what I figured I would be facing. I am just hitting a state park her in MN so I think I am (unfortunately) not going to be all that alone. The backpacking camp sites are designated backpacking only and are a good 5 miles from any other campsites, but you never know there may be others out there with me.

I think this particular area is going to be fairly flat, but at least I won't be in the city. I'm a country boy transplanted to the city because of my career choice and I really need to get away, but I don't have the cash to be running of to a mountain range. Heh.

Thanks again.
