I met one of my best friends to this day on the approach trail, so I found some value. But, I was looking for the ledge where the coffee filters were thrown by Katz. Seriously, that section of the book made me laugh so hard that I wanted to see the spot, just to say I had been there. LIES! Didn't exist. Made me a little mad.
Like Dos said, nobody cares if you hiked it after the first couple of weeks. Well, other than the ones that did hike it that are looking for someone to commiserate with about it. :lol:
