Never saw that.....was just too eager to see if I beat Cruddy Toes PB of 10:34 ;).......maybe next time I register it will read Shake and Bake City, MA :D

Awesome stuff! :):):) Overcoming the first three days is the key...... Great pix by the way.....and great story telling.......shake and bake! Looking forward to day 6!

This was a lot of fun sliding in the mud :D It was inspiring to have so many VFTT dudes and dudettes along the course :) Here are the complete results: http://www.vermont50.com/html/2009_results.html#50M Looks like 144 runners started the 50-miler. 26 dropped out along the way. 118 finished...

Awesome Giggy! And free pancakes....damn....... Shake and Bake!

I'll be there......looking forward to it!

I think this calls for a slide show.......I would love to see the pictures on a big screen......stunning indeed! It would be fantastic presentation! I was going to go to bed early when I saw your great trip report......that was like an hour ago.... Observe that I didn't say "Shake and Bake" ;)

That's a Shake and Bake vacation! I agree with ToeCozy and Giggy! Well put.....

Gonna have a new avatar with the birdie on your head Kim? Great stuff :)

Observe that existing trails or roads were used 100% this time and the last day would have been on trails (and also crossing route 112) all the way as well. I don't think there is a shorter way to do it using trails and roads.......if it hadn't been raining we would have done the wack up to the...

You guys rock! Very impressive and great story and pix :):):) Did you feel acclimitized well in that short time frame to 12K?

The force is strong with Farmer......

I think Farmer knows the recipe to "Shake and Bake" :)

Hey Wu.......thanks for remembering my b-day.....I just turned 62 I believe.....

I agree with ColdRiverRun..........29:51 on that stretch is unheard of.....normal well trained people have a hard time jogging that portion after a pemi-loop.....you guys are like four levels above that............I know Albee has done it in 35 minutes during a pemi loop and he is a 2:32...

That's what I call "Shake and Bake!" Maybe if someone stood at the Galehead Hut intersection with fresh beverages sub-7 could have been achieved........I think Youngblood or Farmer can push it down to 6:50 in the next year or two......they don't have a lot of trail running in their legs yet.....

I won't be there but I can donate a mini-keg for the traverse :D Will give it to you tonight......

I can bring my 12-person tent so that will be $4 and change per person......:D No limit on people per tent or site, right?

It was the "Good Reverend" Henry Folsom who came up with the name back in 1971 so I thought it would be good to respect his innovativeness. He took about three months to do it with 19 effective hiking days. His goal was the shortest route on foot for all 48 without aid in between. The spelling...

Towards the end the water was the biggest individual item in the pack. Without water I think my pack was maybe 20 lbs towards the end and 35 with water.......let's see Sleeping gear: 6lbs (tent, sleeping bag, pad) Clothing: 4 lbs Cooking stuff 3 lbs Electronics 1 lbs Hygien...

The thing is that by the Tripyramids a week's worth of food is consumed already and the pack weight is not that significant as it was in the early days. Dropping packs and bag peaks is done at several places like Moriah, Hancocks, Washington, Cabot, Tom, Cannon, Owl's Head etc. But when adding...
