I'm sorry, I didn't mean to sound offended. I wasn't offended at all. I just didn't want anyone to think I was crazy enough to jump from 50 to 100 because I agree, unless you're very fit that's not going to work.

I'm taking my Camelbak, 2 24oz bottles and there's rest stops every 10 miles at Hotter N Hell. For this weekend we have a sag driver so if it's too much or too hot I can catch a ride.
