PDF reprint of an article on speeding on the John Muir Trail from Backpacking Light Magazine (Print Version).
When the moon shone on a pale granite boulder, it looked like a tent. I could imagine a well-fed, snoring hiker in his toasty sleeping bag, dreaming of the lunch he’d eaten in a meadow that afternoon. I could almost smell the warm campfire around which the day had been reminisced and plans for tomorrow made. I drifted hopefully toward it. But as my sleepy mind snapped back to attention, I knew it was only a cold rock, thatthere was to be no company for me that night. And I still had to reach the Evolution Creek ford to camp. Where was that crossing? Why was I out on the John Muir Trail at 10:30 pm, two days and 107 miles from Whitney Portal, alone, cold, and down to one Clif bar and a pack of instant mashed potatoes? Where the hell was that crossing!
