Met a lady thru hiking around 2:30 pm last Tuesday (11 June), at about mile 
155, just north of Palms to Pines highway, on the PCT as it entered Penrod 
Canyon. My friend and hiking bro; Evil Goat, asked her when she left the 
border. Anish, aged 31, and hailing from Washington state, answered that she 
had left the border the previous Saturday (08 June). Evil Goat was quick to 
surmise what she was up to, and asked her if she was going for the record, 
in which she replied in the affirmative. I might point out that this was the 
middle of the afternoon of her fourth day of hiking and we were 
chit-chatting with her at mile 155!
I offered her a choice between a lime or orange flavored Powerade (1-liter). 
Anish opted for the orange flavored drink, which she quickly downed. Evil 
Goat checked her pack weight, estimating it at about 25 lbs. She was asked 
if she was going cook-less and she said yes. She finished the drink and all 
but disappeared, leaving only her tracks to follow. Estimating... she should 
be around mile 360 at the end of today, which would be in the 
Wrightwood/Inspiration Point area of the trail.
Now you see her, and... now you don't. Anish "The Ghost" seemed like a 
worthy trail name, but who am I to say. I wish her the best as she takes on 
the task of breaking Scott Williamson's record. Time will tell.

PS Her trail shoe tread is of note; a cleated one, with the outline of a 
shape similar to a child's footprint in the center of the impression and toe 
imprints similar to a human's or bear's, at the toe box of the shoe-print. I 
tracked this unique signature onto Mt. San Jacinto, only to lose it in the 
heavy traffic, regaining it coming down Fuller Ridge, and lastly at the Snow 
Creek faucet.
