I'm with Retired Jerry on this one - I would camp out in the middle of the first lap and consider it a great day!retired jerry wrote:"I have no desire to ever do this"
I would stop halfway through the first lap and camp out.
Maybe at that lake, not at the radio towers.
BUT this is why they say "hike your own hike"! I totally love hearing about all the adventures of those of you who pile on the miles/elevation, even if it isn't my cup of tea. It inspires me to push myself towards my goals, even if they are quite a bit more modest.
Congratulations!
