Thanks W_D. Some people have done it in about 8 days. Andrew Skurka and his pal did it "comfortably" in 8 days and 4 hours. My idea is to carry food for 12 days and shoot for 10. Straight shot, no resupply. Still working this out calorie wise/ weight wise. The not cooking concept has crossed my mind, but vegan? So your friend was a vegan at the time, or was there another reason?

Back to your trip; it IS pretty obvious which way you would like to do it. I'm not good at being inspirational, but don't give up on your dream/to-do list. You are one of the people who inspired me to go for my version of Ropers High Route. If it feels right, you should do it.


Never mind on the vegan question...figured it out.
