    these guys and gals absolutely could not do it without a small crew. i know i got less sleep than Maineak when i crewed him. i'd do it again in a minute

    I think he won't sleep again till finished.
    Then: Will he come down the Hunt trail?
    Or Chimney Pond?
    Don't let your fears stand in the way of your dreams

    I wouldn't go that far...

    We'll see how it shakes out in the final tale.

    Not sure how often or for what % of the hike but there were stretches of just the two of them.
    IIRC, the "big" crew topped out at 4. Most of the time it was at best Brew +1 I believe.

    Maybe Brew wants to chime in.

    Did Scott just take a nap from 4:12 to 4:37 or was he eating. Or both

    Abol is closed.

    Scott is in for a treat - He is going to get a gorgeous view of Katahdin from Nesuntabunt! That should give him a nice boost.

    Yup ! Those guys and gals short on sleep no doubt. Everyone's "running" on adrenline I'm sure.
    Getting lost is a way to find yourself.

    Sorry, LW! I was trying to post, but for some reason the server was moving slow. There may be a few people on WB right about now...

    That was my thought too. Why prolong the agony?

    Somebody Stop him! He's heading to the 'Knife's Edge!"

    I wonder if we'll all be online checking the tracker on Sunday as 5:15pm approaches, and how frequently the tracker updates! At this rate, he could break the record but we'll be left waiting on the triangle to move!

    Three cheers for the crews!

    I saw/read where Jenny said she got less sleep than Scott.

    So.... about that 2189 post....
    Guessing that's happening soon enough.

    How's about this...
    HEY JEN AND BREW, if you's a watching chime in.
    Post should go to you.

    Failing that... since it's a poho record.
    Map Man, or OMO for crunching the numbers.
    Seeing as the actual distance is 2189.2, seems fair enough to me to count 2189 and 2190 tween the two of em.
    Perhaps Odd Man Out goes first, then Map man.. That's 9 letters vs 6 letters in their name so that probably weights the average post count closer to the 2189... but I didn't graph it.

    And I bet she didn't get to play putt-putt golf on one of the last days like Brew!

    You automatically win if you are the 2189th post on this thread and it was your own 2189th post on WB.
