Chipmunk,

This is a very rough idea of where the trail might be rerouted based
on the maps at tejonpreserve.com:

Existing PCT is the line to the right, reroute is on the left.

is in our both agreement to make this public.

Switchback replies: That is very interesting and sounds like a challenge.  
Unsupported JMT Reinhold and I have decided to give you guys a head start.  Then 
on June 15 (Ray Day) we will start from Campo to beat you to the Canadian 
border.  We plan to take a lot of zero's too.  In fact we might be there when 
you depart on June 8th (Sunday) to wish you well.  

There will be a lot of pressure on you knowing that we are hot on your heels.  
You will feel us breathing down your necks and hear our foot steps getting ever 
closer.  This will cause you to sweat a lot more, so carry extra water.  I think 
up in Washington, we will plan to be about half a day ahead of you.  This is so 
we can toy with your minds --- we will be just out of reach.  Our footprints 
will be fresh and offer the temptation of catching up.  By the way, you are 
going to get very tired of looking at our footprints on the trail.

At every resupply stop, they will be out of the best goodies, since we will have 
been there ahead of you.  This is too cool and sounds like fun.

Your pals, Switchback and Unsupported JMT

You know now that I think about it, I wonder how  we can set it up so they 
get to the Canadian border monument in 79 days, 21  hours, and 43 minutes.  That 

would be one minute short of tying the  record.  I would think an ambush 
along the last 8 miles into the monument  would be cool.  Previous ambushes 
would 
have slowed them down to where they  were just going to break the record.  
These two guys might break the  current record by days, so careful planning is 
needed to make this  work.

But to really make this work, it has to be a  sting operation.  It has to be 
something that they do not realize they have  been had.  They will just think 
they are having bad luck, etc., "Better  luck next time" and all that.  I will 
have to think about  this.

Say, I know.  We could leave hot pizzas and cold brews along the trail  for 
them.  If they eat or drink anything, they are now ASSISTED.   Their unassisted 
record attempt goes out the window.  THAT'S  IT!!  And as the hike goes on, 
the more likely they will violate their  sacred unassisted oath.  Another 
brilliant idea by yours  truly.  How do I do it?  Thank you, thank you, thank 
you  
.............many pats on the back and congratulations for me.   

Your pal, Switchback the Trail Pirate
