That's 30 miles a day. I did 30 miles once... in 3 days.

Big difference between hiking for a couple of hours at 4000 feet, and hiking up 7000 feet for 10 hours straight.



But hell, I'm not here to discourage you.

Walking 30 miles a day for 2 days on flat land at sea level would be hard.

it's only 100 miles man. That ain't ****. Don't let these guys get you scared.

I bet you make it all the way Auburn before you die lol.

On a side note, I used to live right around the corner from that starting location on Matador.
