The Maah Daah Hey is a good example since there's an outfit that will shuttle your gear from campsite to campsite, but we were there in '04. Unfortunately, we also ran into the most ticks I've ever seen. We got to the first campground and found, and I offer no exaggeration, probably 50 ticks on our stash of gear. Of course, we found ticks earlier in the day too when we stopped in the one spot of shade in 5 miles for a drink. That led to us combing over each other like monkeys and taking shoes and socks off in the heat. Of course, our shuttle driver had her days mixed up, so was late getting us to the trailhead, which meant a mid-day start in the North Dakota Badlands, bad news.
