25 High Peaks in 25-ish Hours - 24 High Peaks in 23:57

FIRST OFF The GPS SUCKED BUTT. I don't even KNOW why it screwed up SO FriGeN Baad. And yes, I went to Haystack's true summit. I should have 30+ segments for this. Anyways, This is the largest day hike anyone has done to my knowledge. (Meaning one continuous hike without "stopping" car to car, but this doesn't really matter...)  I did 24 peaks in 24 hours and didn't make the cutoff for the 25th one (Which was the goal). Bust still did 25 peaks in the same hike. I ended up watching two sunrises. Started at 4:10 AM on Monday at the Loj and ended at Elk Lake around 7:45 AM on Tuesday. What A crazy day!
