Chris had a good plan for this shuttle hike and the weather was great. Brian and I hiked north to south and even thought we gained an extra 1091 feet AEG the average grade was about 3%. The trail is in good shape, there a few spur trails to avoid and several cow mines. We saw Chris & Jason on our mile 11 about 10:49am. Although I never saw it, I'm pretty sure there was a bear chasing us because Brian was cruising and I has keeping up. I haven't hiked this far at this pace in a long time. (the Wally of old)

We stopped to talk to a couple that had dropped a shuttle vehicle and were during an overnight hike on this section and saw another couple hiking in as we neared the finish. I left most of my snacks on the kitchen table

so we only took about a 10 minute break to refuel. Brian had some leg cramps toward the end so I took the lead (still no shame). We finished about 1:35 and since we both had keys to both vehicles we brought the Xterra over to the north TH for Chris & Jason when they finished and started back. Great weather, good company and one heck of a pace.
