FKT: Tim Yuska - Palos Trail System (IL) - 2023-08-27

Ran solo and carried all water and nutrition from the start.
Swallow Cliffs and Palos Orange and Yellow were in great condition.  Canal connector was a bit overgrown. Removing several large clumps of cockleburs was a minor annoyance. Overall it went as well as I could have hoped!  I live near Palos and I'm familiar with the trail system.

Editor's note: This FKT was flagged in July 2024 because it appears Tim used the southern singletrack across the slough isthmus rather than the more technical northern singletrack as specified in the route description and illustrated in the GPX files.
