Amid the chaos at the end of this semester, I ponder over next summer's adventures. Right now, there are two ideas. And as much as I like to think I could do both, the reality is I probably can't.
So I'd like your input, if you don't mind. Let me know which of the two would be the better choice:
1.) SB6K record bid: this would be a supported ~5 day blitz on all 40 of the 6000+ ft. peaks in the southeast to challenge Cave Dog's 2003 record. The supported aspect would make it logistically challenging and quite unlike the BMT fastpack, which was lots of fun.
2.) MST fastpack: the current route is 930 miles long. The challenge would be to hike it in one month (June, 2010). The trail is still in the embryonic stage, but there have already been several thru-hikes and there are good planning resources available. This would be more in line with this year's BMT adventure. But on the downside, there would be lots of road running.

SB6K! Why waste the bulk of your summer on the road? :-)
Let me know if I can spend a weekend helping you, either way.
Matt, you're a mountain man! 'nuff said.
