June 30 update

Three days out and it’s crunch time.  Gear check today and finish my food/supply can prep.  These military .50 caliber ammo cans will hold two days of food and supplies...and will be stashed near trailheads with a four day hiking distance separating each stash.

The record snowfall and slow melting has caused some early thur-hikers to alter their plans.  We start on July 3.
