    Good luck. That would be my plan if I ever draw again. And I'll say it one more time, get as far off the road as you can. Find a locked gate get in deep and scout. If you can find a canyon with mud, you'll get good info on what's in there. My sense was they bed down up in the south facing cliffs...
