    I need new hiking boots

    They're good for caving, most things get ruined on that environment.

    I need new hiking boots

    I got 800 miles out of them and they're still good, my feet have gotten bigger and they don't fit anymore.

    Hydration Mix

    I use a hydration bladder so I don't put anything but water in it. I drink a lot of Gatorade when I run races that have it and aren't cup less. I have a collapsible cup but I save that for soft drinks.

    What’s the Toughest Trail You've Ever Conquered?

    Class 3 means don't fall, Class 4 means there's some rock climbing and don't fall! Class 5 means stay away.

    What’s the Toughest Trail You've Ever Conquered?

    Hardest hike this year was the Arapaho Traverse in Colorado. It was a classic class 3 traverse, the hardest move was class 4.

    FKT

    The FKT is over 20 min/mi for 60 miles, I'd probably get distracted by all the caves and mess it up though.

    What natural wonders have you hiked that you rate as one of the best in state?

    There was a lot of discussion about whether or not Pete's Cave is in HNF at the EMG meeting tonight. Landowner maintains that maps are incorrect and it is his property. Surveys have been unable to prove him wrong, the rock shelter and sandstone cave seem to be private property.

    What's Your Favorite Lesser-Known Trail and Why?

    I got the Hoosier's Hidden Hikes guidebook last year, I've really enjoyed the hikes in that book! HNF doesn't have a well developed trail system like the SNF does, all of the hikes in that book are bushwacks with some forest road.
