I know a guy section-hiking the AZT who split this bit into four pieces totaling almost two weeks. He did them all in late fall and started each one with 3-4 gallons of water.

Yea, that makes even more sense, actually. I don't have the maps and beta sitting here in front of me.

MSNBC repeatedly spelled it that way in their story on the plane crash. (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/37649194/ns/us_news-life/)
I'm glad nobody on the ground was hurt.
