Nobody walks to Base Camp, unless, they are hiking the American Discovery Trail across the country or the Hayduke Trail around the Colorado Plateau. Last night, when Tom heard the footsteps coming up the driveway, one or the other. When Samuel came to the door, Tom said "Discovery or Hayduke?" Samuel said "Discovery." Tom said "Yes, you can get water and stay in the hogan."
At first light Samuel was on his was. To reach San Francisco by Aug 20th when he had an airplane ticket back to Switzerland, but first, he had to conquer Base Camp to Needles, 50 or so miles of hell over the next two days and there would be plenty of challenges later should he survive this one. Good luck Samuel. You'll need every bit of it.
