Revolution......they never felt  
the pain like we did.  We grew up the ''Old Fashioned Way''......with  65-75 
LB packs and waffle stomper boots. We are made from a different kind of  metal 
Scott & Joe, however, are the 'New Breed Hard Core'' and take UL to  the 
extreme....no stove, no fuel all the way to Canada. To beat them we must go  
lighter yet.

Switchback replies: No problem.  We will go to our patented Sub  Atomic Ultra 
Light System.  I would be very much surprised if our kit's  weighs more than 
1 pound each.  Easy to do.  Our June 15 --- Ray  Day start will be a breeze 
even though they have a week's headstart.   In fact, what they do not know is 
our hiking gear will weigh NEGATIVE.  We  will actually have NO gear weight.  
This is so simple to do, but we will  have lots of goodies on our record 
smashing hike.
 
I think we should be at the Campo PCT monument at 12 noon on June 8 and eat  
lunch with some hot pizza in front of them as they prepare to head north ---  
they can't have any or they will be Assisted.  A lot of hikers should be  
there to wish them well on their record attempt.  That's it!   Unsupported and 
Switchback will provide hot pizza and cold drinks for the  crowd.  But you have 
to agree to this too.  There could be hundreds if  not thousands of people 
there along with the TV news cameras, etc.
 
Of course, the pizza and drinks will be on a first come, first serve  basis.  
Heh, heh, heh, heh.
 
Cheers, Switchback and Stinker the Trail  Skunk
