1. By the time I got to the Hat ...A few thoughts:<br /><br />1. By the time I got to the Hat Creek Rim, I refused to hike more than a couple hours when it was dark. It appears Dad made night hiking work better than I did.<br /><br />2. Like most thru hikers, I skipped the Lost Creek Trail because it was described exactly as Dad described it. However, I had the water cache available when I went through.<br /><br />3. Fruitcup, a guy I met last year on the PCT, and Star, a girl I heard about, hiked 100 km or 62 miles in their own 24 hour challenge. That happened in Oregon.<br /><br />4. Dad has been changing shoe brands on this hike. That makes it difficult to know how long his shoes will last. Typically, shoes last about 500 miles, but I've heard of some lasting over 1,000 miles. Dad tried to stretch this pair a little far and didn't quite make it. I had my own experience doing that last year.<br /><br />Pathfinderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14214257582401880599noreply@blogger.com
