Day 24
July 4, 1978
Miles run – 45.0
Weather – 85 degrees
Comments: “What a place to spend the Fourth. We are now 8 miles off the road into the woods next to some reservoir and next to a glowing campfire (wish I was at the Esplanade though – did it rain?). Today I felt super but had to climb an 8,000-foot mountain – worst than Mt. Washington. I can hardly wait till the Rocky’s! God, that is going to make or break me. Tomorrow at the 10.5-mile mark, I hit the all-important 1,000 miles!”
