On Nov 7, 2014, I set an\u00a0unsupported Joshua Tree Traverse FKT<\/a> in 7:12:50. I carried all my water, food, and gear. To beat the heat, I ran at\u00a0night. Jessica Kelley<\/a> has since then grabbed the unsupported women’s FKT<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Recently I felt an itch to go back, so I started scratching and here’s the result: on Sat, Mar 12, 2016, I will set out for a unsupported and solo Joshua Tree Double Traverse\u00a0(a.k.a out-and-back or yo-yo) attempt. That’s 74.6 miles of pure desert bliss. Or so I like to think.<\/p>\n

\"jtt_sign\"<\/a>

The Joshua Tree traverse follows the California Riding and Hiking Trail.<\/p><\/div>\n

In 2014, I survived the\u00a037.3mi with\u00a02.25l\/76oz of water and on about 1,800 calories. Unless I change my mind at the last minute, the double attempt will be completely unsupported<\/a>\u00a0once again, i.e., without\u00a0external support of any kind<\/span>. That means\u00a0I will carry all my water, food, and gear (plus bring back all my trash)\u00a0for\u00a074.6 miles in the desert. I’m not sure how this will go.<\/p>\n

It is impossible to get this adventure\u00a0done in one night, so I will have to deal with the heat during the day. The positive aspect is that I will see more than glowing coyote eyes at night.<\/p>\n

I expect to be a lot slower than on the point-to-point\u00a0traverse because of the heavy pack and the heat. And I’m also two years older.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

What could possibly go wrong on this traverse?<\/p><\/div>\n

The plan is to start at 2am on Saturday morning, Mar 12, from the\u00a0Black Rock Campground<\/a>. I’ll then traverse the park and turn around at the\u00a0North Trailhead (mile 37.3). If all goes well, I’ll finish at the\u00a0Black Rock Campground, where my lonely rental car will be waiting (well, unless it’s been stolen).<\/p>\n

\r\n
\r\n UPDATE<\/strong>: it turns out that\u00a0Michael Connor and Justin Yanuck are doing\u00a0an FKT attempt as well tomorrow Saturday. According to the post on the FKT forum<\/a>\u00a0(scroll to the\u00a0bottom), their\u00a0start time is 6am and you can follow their SPOT at http:\/\/share.findmespot.com\/shared\/faces\/viewspots.jsp?glId=0NC3YD9bnLVuclIjp8Hy1t6BbL5hVk1mO<\/a>.\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\n
