It sounds like a unique experience, Weary.

I wonder how many hikers of any stripe could
hack thirty days in the woods without a town
stop, pizza, Coke, ice cream, or shower.  I doubt
I could, but never tried it.  I doubt many thru-
hikers ever come close.  Sounds like something
Shane's probably done, tho <G.>

I think my record for consecutive days in
the woods was set in the 100-mile wilderness.
Maybe seven nights, as I recall.  No phone.
No wife.  No problem.
