Has anyone ever had any problems with altitude sickness? If so - how do you beat it? I am a true flatlander - living at 1300 feet for all of my 22 years. Have been to some altitude a couple times. First time was Estes Park, Colorado - 9000 feet I believe - was the absolute sickest I ahve ever been for 1 1/2 days. Second time was this spring turkey hunting in the Black Hills. Camped at 6600 feet and was anywhere from 6000 to 7100 feet. Did not feel good at all.

What are some ways to beat altitude sickness? I would like to hunt sheep and elk some day and know that it will not be possible unless I can find some way to adjust to the altitude.
