51BC,
I certainly understand your feeling. I’m looking forward to your post with the new bamboo rod.

ACLakey,
Me too. When I have to hike for a while, through bushes, or down a steep cliff to reach a stream, I don’t bring a bamboo rod.

Thank you, but I’m afraid I forget all these tips before I do it next time.

Adam,
Yes, our trip is closing! I’m truly excited.
