Spartan Hike - Day 20

Hiker, and co-founder of American Spartan Inc, Captain Tommy Muir, continues to keep us updated on the day-to-day of the 425+ mile Spartan Hike, via emails spent from his phone.

"Facing a modest 18 miles, we rose to a familiar SoCal sight this time of year, the marine layer. Knowing the sun would eventually burn it off and provide some much appreciated warmth, we started in on the only miles between us and our final day. For today's miles, we had added another hiker, one of our fellow instructors from the School of Infantry had driven north with his wife and daughter to join us for the day. As we hiked, he filled us in on the latest turmoil in the Middle East and on the debacle that has so fascinated America, the exploits of Charlie Scheen. Upon the completion of our hiking, his wife had scored us some mighty tasty fish tacos for the hunger today's miles helped develop. As we departed for our campsite, we thanked them for joining us, the tasy food and Rob's company on today's leg. Loaded into the vehicle and with John and Paul on lead vocals, we pulled onto the Southern California Speedway or as some call it, the 405, to skirt
through LA to our final campsite at Crystal Cove State Park, 17 miles north of our finish point."
