He explained to me that the stand that I would be hunting out of was 300 yards away, and gave me a direction of travel.
The stand appeared to be in good shape but didn't seem to have been used in a long time.
E.O. and I are not what would be considered in great shape, so when we decided to approach the stand from the opposite side and walk the steep hill up to it we were quite out of breath by the time we got there.

 Last Comic Standing: The Search For The Funniest Person in America | PopMatters Television Review
Last week's two-hour premiere was a rollicking good time and delivered big laughs and even bigger ratings to the network, a good start for a show that will be with us for eight weeks in this, the summer of the reality show.
But judging from some of the semi-finalists in the show's premiere, a houseful of neurotic comics might not be the laughfest one might think.
Thankfully, none of the other comics come close to that kind of intensity and most are genuinely funny.

 NBC resurrects 'Last Comic Standing,' orders new edition for summer - Reality TV World - News, information, episode ...
It was after Last Comic Standing 2's surprising strong ratings start that NBC made the ill-advised decision to hastily schedule a third "Season 1 versus Season 2" edition for Fall 2004.
Slapped together in mere weeks -- and it showed -- Last Comic Standing 3 predictably proved to be a ratings disappointment, resulting in NBC alienating both Last Comic's viewers (what few there were) and participants (including host Jay Mohr) by completely mismanaging the finale broadcast that capped the show's ten-week run.
The confused messages and outright disdain with which NBC handled Last Comic Standing 3's finale resulted in speculation that the only reason NBC produced a finale at all was that it would have been a breach of its Comedy Central "second window" contract to not provide one.

 Last Comic Standing at AllExperts
Josh Blue, who lives with cerebral palsy, was the last comic standing on the August 9, 2006, conclusion of the contest.
Ultimately, the legitimacy of the program and contest was compromised as it was proven that contestants were not being chosen based on the quality of their stand-up comedy, but in fact at least partially on how entertaining their interactions while living together would be for a television audience.
Also, many of the amateur comedians have to battle directly with some well-known comics, making it harder for them to progress in the competition and making it easy for veterans to stage a comeback or to maintain exposure to the public between projects.
