     @JoeRess Six, and probably no cushion for rest days because I wouldn't have room for all that food.

     @JoeRess It'll be good training for the trip AFTER that: the John Muir Trail, which is 211 miles (340 km) 😳

     @killyourfm how do you do that in terms of food and supplies? Multi person situation?

     @JoeRess I hike solo, so I essentially carry my entire life in my 65L pack: food, sleeping bag + pad + pillow, cooking system + fuel, any extra clothes, tent, toiletries, water filtration, battery pack, phone, knife, coffee mug, camp sandals, crampons (in case of snow), etc.

     It's a lot 🤣

     @killyourfm @JoeRess I've been getting better and better at packing the various storage options (under seat, luggage box, my backpack) on my motorcycle. It feels like unloading a clown car when I get home with a couple hundred bucks worth of groceries! 😅

     @jimsalter @JoeRess Do you ever do any extended road touring on that bad boy? I bet that would make for some excellent adventuring.
