[pct-l] Adam Bradley...(Monstro, Listo)...still on PCT at record pace?

[taterno at cox.net]

I don't know who the guy was in Gadget's journals.  I just read Truant's postholer tj, and she did 51 miles in a day, all during daylight hours.  We should rename her "Iron Woman."

Yes, it is very easy to mistake contaminated water for good water...it

Shelly, do you know who that 50 mile days thru- hiker-runner is, that 
''Gadget'' is referring to as ''Show-off''
in his Aug. 2-3 Journal on postholer and if he is aiming for a record, 
or when he started?
This extreme record hiking is so exiting......gets me all fired up....it 
ignites the JMT Fever.
