Great you found another with a spike. 8 miles their is like 12 miles in most places. Mike and I just got back on Sat. from a 3 day 28-1/2 mile hike with full pack. Ran out of water with 4 miles to go. Not even a dirty mud puddle to drink from.(Dry season) Started to get major fatigue the last 2. Not a comfortable feeling. Didn't think I would run out starting off with 25 lbs. of water. Lost 10 lbs. but put 7 of them back on after Easter dinner.
