Oh and I'm not a fast hiker at all. I get big miles in by using the whole day. Did you know there are 24 hours in a day? Sleep, much like food, is over rated. I hike at a pace where I can still talk story and tell lies and I break when I feel like it. I just keep going through the night. I usually start at night.
Whenever I would pitch ideas like this to The Frog, he would always respond, "That sounds like a mission!"
BTW, he was forcibly retired from the Navy, too, and 5 years later and he still has not adjusted.
