My friend James took this shot. I was sorting gear for my JMT YO YO speed record 2004. July I will again be sorting gear this time for a trifecta. I will link up three trails. The John Muir Trail, Yosemite to Tahoe trail and the Tahoe rim trail. I believe it will be the first time someone has did this link up. I plan on fastpacking the whole thing in 18-21 days. 596 miles, I will have 3 resupply drops. I will be going fast and light. Posted by Picasa

Lickin' my chops for when they finally complete the Continental Divide trail!

hey brownie-
I believe it's completed. It's one of the trail's in the triple crown hike, and every year many people hike the 3,100 mile trail.

From what I can tell it's about 70% completed, but I suppose there are ways around or through the uncompleted parts. I'll get to do a chunk of it at the San Juan 50 miler next month.

Can you post all the gear you take on these hikes?

Hi Brownie-

I will when I have time. My pack weight with food is around 16 pounds.
This year I will try and get it down to 14.

Cool, thanks. Looking at a few fastpacking trips, just wondering what kind of gear you use.
