Get there two three days early to acclimate. Went to High altitude with a guy in really good shape and he almost passed out when at 11000.

Pappy:
Sounds like you are getting there, What Moggy said is also good advice,or at least take it easy the first day or so if you can't get there early. :) :) Just thought I would throw in my work out for my up coming Gator hunt,been working on my swimming in the pool to pick up some speed and also working on my walking on water technique. Sorry had to throw that in. ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D Good luck on yalls hunt. :) :)
