Wow, Steve --30 miles? Had this group/Brett been doing 30mi hikes in the weeks/months leading up to this trip? I only ask this because even two months into the hiking "season" with a busy itinerary last year, I still could not imagine putting 30mi in a day with a full pack.....

The body betrays and the weather conspires, hopefully, not on the same day.
