It's the beginning of summer 2012, college finals are over (you passed, but not you best work in class this time around). You are starting your camping trip this weekend, it's been so long since you got to get away and do some camping. You graduate next semester and then it's off in the real world for you.
There was a big trip planned by about five other friends of yours, but your plans are a little different. You are planning to make this a week long hiking excursion on your own, you will start out and finish at your friends campsite, and might cross paths with them during the week, but who knows.
The time has finally come, you have arrived at your destination with your group of friends, (you rode with them after all to save money). They are making camp in whats known as the primitive campground of the national forest, there's a porta-potty (for all the girls of course) but other then that there are no amenities to speak of. Although a shower and running water is located at the ranger station about 15 min away by car. So it's not totally primitive in that sense.
You stay to help your friends set up camp and spend some time visiting before you head off your own direction; your route will set out from this point heading along a marked trail west for an hour, then you will move off the trail for the remainder of your trip and head north on your first leg of the trip, and then meet back with them in five days at the camp site. Simple enough.
The afternoon flew past, now you won't go too far before the sun goes down, should you just wait till morning and set out, or go ahead and get started now to take advantage of as much time as possible?
