This is my first Fastest Known Time attempt. This course is a trail created in 1981 and funded by the Sierra club. I ran the trail from East to West. Officially the trail advertises 26.8 miles. My gps was a little off and I ran a little further than the trail head signs. But I got in a family good run. I stopped to take picture of almost all mileage markers. I highly recommend running this trail as it is a tough terrain feature about 1750 feet of elevation. There is no water refill sources so you have to cache your only water jugs. This was an unsupported attempt.  I will be coming back when it is cooler to attempt this again.  The temperature reached 93 degrees near the end and I ran out of water about 1 mile out.
